Last Monday we had a fantastic evening at Leyland Leisure centre for the school’s swimming gala.  Our team swam really well winning a lot of the races entered.  Overall we came fifth; a massive well done to all of the children involved and a big thank you to Mr Cook, Mrs Arkwright and Mrs Veevers for coaching the team and to Mrs Cook and Mrs Quinn who came along to help on the night.

On Monday 3rd March school will have a monitoring inspection visit from Shirley Gornall who is one of Her Majesty's Inspectors. We look forward to welcoming her to our school.

I would like to thank the PTA for their hard work in organising another successful and fun disco at the end of last half term.  I know all of the children had a great time.

I am pleased to tell you that the A Team came in the top 3 at a recent tournament and will be attending the playoff competition at Brownedge, after school on Thursday to determine who will be representing South Ribble at the Youth Games.
