Week 3 lunch menus this week. Please remember to talk to your child about what they are most likely to eat. Following the disruption caused by the weather last week, we are hoping to have most clubs up and running this week. The exception is Cross Country. The ground conditions are unsafe after the recent heavy snow falls, so the club has been cancelled this week. Unfortunately, due to
Well, that wasn’t in the plan! What a week in the life of Kirkshaws! Snow, ice and difficult journeys to and from school have made it tricky to function normally at times this week, but thank you all for the efforts you made to send your children daily. Learning continued, despite the adverse weather conditions. It has been a pleasure meeting all our new P.1 parents, and some children too,
All NLC schools will start closing from 12 noon today. Staff will remain in school with your child until they are collected.
We have a busy week ahead enrolling for August. If you know of any pupils who are intending to start school this year please advise their parents to telephone the school office to make arrangements.

Happy New Year! It was great to welcome everyone back to school on Monday and what a busy week it was to kick off the new term.

Many thanks to everyone for all their hard work and dedication over the past term. This week we have performed, partied, worked, played, laughed and sang. We had our first (but certainly not last) Inter-House Quiz and our choir performed to an audience for the first time ever! All in all a most successful way to end a fabulous term. It was also exciting to send Miss Smith off with
During our November Parents’ Night we asked for your feedback on a number of school issues. While many of you told us you were happy with the way things are going at the moment, we were delighted that we were given some feedback that we could work on.

Week 3 menu choices this week. It is a busy week ahead, as we continue with our Christmas Celebrations. If you have not purchased a ticket for our School Shows, check with the school office; there may still be a few left for your preferred date. There are no after-school clubs running this week.

As the song goes…”It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” What a fantastic week, building up to our Christmas celebrations. Christmas Art and Christmas activities are popping up all over the school if you take the time to look around. Whether it is learning about trees and plants, or ordering coins…Kirkshaws teachers can skilfully turn it into a seasonal lesson across all learning. We have also had many
Looking back over the past week, I’m amazed at how we have managed to fit it all in! We’ve welcomed two new pupils into the Kirkshaws family and it has been so encouraging to see the hand of friendship being offered to both girls by their classmates. Rehearsals in the hall have become more regular, with both the Nursery Nativity and the School Christmas Show looming. If you are planning
