 NEWSLETTER 21

HOLIDAYS IN TERM-TIME – IMPORTANT NOTICE

Parents and Carers please note the following:

Due to new government guidelines, from September 2013 I will no longer be able to authorise any holidays taken during term-time, unless under extremely exceptional circumstances.  In all other circumstances, taking a holiday during term-time will result in unauthorised absence on the child’s attendance record which may trigger a referral to the Wigan LA absence procedure. 

Please do not proceed to book a holiday during term-time unless you meet the exceptional circumstances criteria, if in doubt come and see me first.

Best Wishes

(Wendy Massey – Headteacher)

 MILE MARATHON

The Friends of St Andrew’s would like to thank all the children for raising so much money in the Mile Marathon.  The amount raised is £1,872.30 so far, which is an amazing amount!  Thank you to all the staff for their hard work organising the event, and all the parents and families for their support, but especially the children – a brilliant effort.  Well done and thank you.  The winner of the Gulliver’s World tickets was Leah Jane Sullivan in Reception class (well done – a fantastic effort).

 We would also like to wish Mr Hoban good luck for the Milton Keynes Marathon this weekend.
