A year of ‘Fun’ Fundraising
The Fundraising Committee have worked tirelessly this year to raise funds for Kirkshaws Primary School and Nursery Class. The list of event and activities is almost endless but they include, Hallowe’en Disco, Coffee Mornings, Christmas and Easter raffles, Family Fun Night and The Summer Fete.
Their contributions have made a real difference to the opportunities our children have been given at Kirkshaws this year including – Paying for Christmas and graduation gifts for all of the nursery children, providing tea and cakes at the graduations,P7 Leavers gift, P7 Bowling trip as well as subsidising nursery and whole school trips ( the reason our cinema outing only cost £1!!)
A massive thank you and congratulations from everyone in the Kirkshaws family for the effort and time given. We look forward to supporting you all again next year.
Lunch Provision -Thursday 28th June
On Thursday the 28th of June there will only be Pack-a-Snacks provided to those children who order one that morning. This is due to the school closing early at 1pm on Thursday. Lunches on Tuesday and Wednesday are as normal.
Cinema Fun
Today (25th June) the whole school went to the Cinema. The infants saw ‘TOP CAT’ and the seniors saw ‘Men in Black 3’. Everyone had a wonderful time – just what we all needed to get us into the holiday mood.

Assembly Sell-out
Our end of year assemblies will take place on Tuesday the 26th of June at 11am and Wednesday the 27th of June at 2pm. Both assemblies have been sold out and we are afraid there will be no facility to pay at the door, this is due to health and safety regulations. We look forward to welcoming you to celebrate the end of a wonderful year.
