Dear Parents/Guardians
 
On behalf of the Governors I am delighted to inform you that Mrs Jillian Shorrocks has been appointed as Headteacher at Woodlea Junior School.   Mrs Shorrocks will take up her new post full time in September 2015.  In the meantime Mrs Shorrocks and I will continue to work together to ensure we deliver high standards of learning and wellbeing for all of our pupils.
 
I am sure you will all join the governors and I in congratulating Mrs Shorrocks, and I hope you will support her and her staff as they continue to bring success and achievements to Woodlea in years to come.
 
Regards,
 
Karen Stephens

Our athletics team from year 5&6 progressed through to the Area Finals in Penwortham from the Leyland competition at Worden High School. The team performed brilliantly on the day and finished in the top 10 schools. Congratulations to all the team for their fantastic effort, enthusiasm and behaviour on the day. A special thanks to Mrs Bell who motivated and encouraged the team during their field events. We look forward to the next competition. 

FRIDAY FAVOURITES
 
 

Dear Parents,
School Dinners and Friday Favourites
Children at Woodlea are offered a hot daily dinner at lunch time, which needs to be booked and paid for in advance, at £2 a day. Children can choose to have just a meal on a Friday, as in a ‘Friday Favourite’. This needs ordering and paying for by the Friday before as this enables Mrs Leggett the time to order the food. Menus are available in the school entrance and on our website. We hope that this change makes it easier all round?!
There have recently been a number of children who have not brought in a packed lunch from home for a variety of reasons. Children will always be offered a jacket potato or a sandwich, made by the kitchen. This meal will need to be charged at £2 and parents will be notified that day.
Birthday Lunches
During the month when it is your child’s birthday, they will be invited to have a special lunch in school. For children who are on sandwiches, they have the opportunity to buy a lunch for £2 and sit on the birthday table.
We are very fortunate at Woodlea to have a ‘Food Council’, where the children have representatives from each class who meet regularly with Mrs Leggett and people from Lancashire Catering. Below are some of the upcoming lunch events that will be taking place during the next two terms. For these events, there will be separate information sent out, closer to the dates.  
Thank you as always for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs J Shorrocks
