Crestwood Park Primary School

We all hope you take the time over the six weeks to relax and enjoy your family time.  We hope the lovely summer weather returns and those of you that are off to warmer climes, we hope you enjoy the sunshine. 

See you all in Septmebr with your batteries refreshed and recharged for another fantastic year at Crestwood Park.

We truly do have some budding actors in the Crestwood Park family...our Key Stage 2 children provided a stunning performance again - thank-you to all of you who attended last Friday afternoon.  We were so proud off all the children and thank-you to everyone who worked behind the scenes.

What a fabulous evening our super Year 6 children had on Wednesday evening at their Leaver's Party - they enjoyed various organised activities including skittles, table-tennis, tennis, fun-inflatables and a disco dance-off (WOW we had some great groovers!)...all topped off by a fantastic fish and chip supper followed by scrumptious ice-creams.  A massive thank-you to all staff involved in ensuring a great night was had by all...a fitting farewell for a marvellous Year 6 2019 - we will miss them all soooo much as they venture off to secondary school.

Just a reminder that if you have signed up for the Mr Barnett's summer fun week it starts on Monday 22nd July and finishes on Friday 29th July - to confirm the club will run from 9:00am to 3:00pm daily. Please remember to provide your child/children with a packed lunch (and drinks), suitable clothing/footwear and assuming we have sunshine (which we have pre-booked!) please remember to apply sun-block. Please refer to your letter for further information with regards to the event and details on what to do if your child is bringing a friend, thank-you.

Upon return for the Autumn Term, our Year 3 children will be participating in swimming lessons at Crestwood School - swimming is a National Curriculum requirement.  Please look out for a letter which will be sent out via the children providing further details and what they will need to wear etc, thank-you.

Please look out for details on our new autumn term after-school clubs - Mr Barnett is busily working on new activities and initiatives and we will announce these clubs in the first week back to school. After-school clubs will re-commence week beginning 9th September 2019, thank-you.

The Saleem Foundation (in partnership with Lesley Care Packages) are working on an initiative known as "UNITED HANDS"; we wish to support this worthy cause for the Homeless by receiving donations of socks, underwear (in clean condition), toothbrush, toothpaste, deodrant and facial wipes (new and unused).  In addition, donations of bottles of water, breakfast bars, biscuits, crisps and chocolate bars would be fantastic. We would greatly appreciate any donations but would request that the any 'best before' dates are after the end of November, as this is a three month campaign for National Homeless Awareness Day on the 10th October. All donated items will be collected from school during the last week of September - thank-you for your ongoing support.
