• GCSE results

  Thu 25 Aug 2022

  Hi All,

   

  There has been some amazing GCSE results received by former St Margaret’s pupils. Congratulations on their work, it truly is something to be proud of.

   

  We wish them all the very best for the future.

   

  Take Care!

   

• Summer Fair

  Mon 04 Jul 2022

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  Can I say a massive 'thank you' to everyone for making Friday's fair such a success - children, parents and staff alike. It was so lovely to be able to have a fair after all this time and the atmosphere was very friendly and jovial. 

   

  The draw for the raffle will take place in assembly today and school will announce how much profit we have made later in the week. We know already that the sponsored walk raised approximately £1000, so thank you for that as well. 

   

  The fair could not have been such a success without your kind donations.

   

  Thank you once again.

   

  Mrs. Perry
   

• Basketball

  Wed 09 Feb 2022

  We just wanted to share the fantastic news that our basketball team won the competition last night and are now Bury Basketball Champions. All the pupils were brilliant and tried their absolute best, and were a credit to our school. Well done to all involved and a special mention to coach Leon for organising this event.

  Dear Parents and Carers

  We have all survived the first two weeks of the new term! The children have worked hard and their behaviour has been a credit to you.

  As you probably know, there has been several positive cases of COVID in children and adults in school. In certain classes the number of positive cases is over 10%. If this remains the case on Monday morning those classes will need to have further restrictions put in place. There is no change to the arrangements for drop off and pick up at the moment. Increased restrictions in school would entail returning to stricter class bubbles and further restrictions in the lunch hall. If your child wishes to wear a mask in school, then they can, but we are not recommending this. Staff are wearing masks in communal areas and socially distancing.

  Have a lovely weekend.

  Keep safe and well

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  As school moves in to the last week of term can I send a plea out to all of you? I know that the Government has relaxed all COVID restrictions but here in school we are remaining cautious to protect staff and pupils as we move towards the summer holidays. I heard on the news this morning that there is a 'natural break' because schools have finished for summer. Clearly, many, including St. Margaret's have not. It would be fantastic to complete the term without sending any bubbles home. If that were to happen, then it would have a knock on effect on families who would have to isolate at the beginning of the holidays.

   

  If your child is unwell they need to be taken for a PCR test. This is the advice of the Bury Public Health Team, because of the rising numbers in the area.

   

  If your child is unwell please do not send them in to school, take them for a PCR test.

   

  Please help to keep everyone here safe and well.

   

  Mrs. Perry.

  Dear Parents and Carers

  We have got to the end of another week. Well done everyone!

  It was so lovely to welcome parents to our Sports Days. It felt like we were able to do something 'normal' for the first time in a very long while.

  It was also lovely to see the Year 6 children off on their day trips. I realised that I had not been able to see children off for two years and I felt rather sad about the things we took for granted and what we have missed.

  Hopefully, things will return to normal over time. Having said that, all systems will remain in place at least  until the end of term, despite the Government changes that will come in to place on the 19th July.

  The issue we now have is that the Government and Public Health England advice is different. St. Margaret's will be following the Local Health Team's advice, because it reflects the local COVID situation and numbers in Bury remain very high.

  I will keep in touch and tell you about the systems St. Margaret's will be utilising in September as soon as I know them.

  Keep safe and well. Have a lovely weekend!

  Dear Parents and Carers
  
  We have got to the end of another week safely and the end of term is in sight. Please continue to keep to systems we have in place in school. We would not want to fall at the last hurdle and have anyone having to isolate in the holidays.
  
  Thank you to the parents of the children who enjoyed sports day yesterday. It was a lovely occasion, shared with you safely. I must admit I was nervous about it but I think that is as a result of habit over the last 18 months.
  
  On Monday, school will be open as usual, but I get the feeling that not everyone will be in school on time! If that is the case then no one will be given a late mark on Monday. I am asking staff to plan a flexible morning with lovely activities around the result we are all hoping for!
  
  Have a lovely weekend and let's hope for a win!!!

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  I thought I would email you following the Governments announcements this week. I know that restrictions are being lifted. However, the arrangements at St. Margaret's will remain the same until the end of term. As soon as I can give you more information about what the Autumn Term will look like I will do so.

   

  Have a lovely evening. Let's hope for an England win!

  Dear Parents and Carers,
  
  I hope that you have had a restful holiday and managed to spend time with family??
  
  All the staff are looking forward to seeing the children on Wednesday. (Tuesday is a staff training day).
  
  All the usual systems will be in place to keep the children, staff and parents as safe as possible, so please keep to the allocated drop off and pick up times for your child(ren).
  
  Staff will be considering how to enjoy the rest of the summer term, including whether we can have a sports day. We think we can but it may not look exactly the same as previous years.
  
  Classes will not go on actual school trips this next term. However, we will be planning ways for the children to enjoy what will hopefully be good weather, either in the school grounds or perhaps in Heaton Park.
  
  I have asked the staff to consider a trip for their classes in the new school year.
  
  I am looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday.
  
  Enjoy the rest of the holiday.
  
  Mrs. Perry

  Dear Parents and Carers

  We reached the holidays without having to send anyone home!! What a relief. Thank you for supporting the school in keeping to social distancing advice and keeping to COVID regulations.

  Your children have been a pleasure to work with once again, this half term.

  Have a lovely week off.

  Keep safe and well.
