Welcome to the Head Teacher’s blog for Week Beginning 27th March 2023
Parent Teacher Consultations – 28th March 2023
We look forward to welcoming our parents and carers in to school for Parent Consultations on Tuesday 28th March. All bookings should now have been made and the booking system has now closed. Any changes should be made through the School Office.
The consultations will take place in the Assembly Hall (P1-3) and Dining Hall (P4-7). Please note, where possible, pupils should not attend with their parents. You are invited to browse your child’s work whilst waiting for your meeting.
The Book Fayre will be open in Room 3 and this will be the only opportunity to purchase a book. Orders cannot be taken during the school day.
Mrs Primas and Mr Williamson will also be available to help with the sign up to Parent Portal system, if required.
P3/4 Consultations have been postponed due to staff absence.
Easter Celebration
On Friday 31st March 2023, we are looking forward to you joining us for our Easter Celebrations. The timings for these are as follows:
9.30am P1-3/4
11.15am P4-7
The tickets will be sent via ‘Pupil Post’ on Tuesday 28th March so please check your child’s school bag. As previously indicated, due to available space in the Assembly Hall, we can accommodate one ticket per family. These should be booked via the Google Form link emailed to you last week. The Google Form will close at 8pm tonight (Sunday 26th March).
We will begin to look at our ‘Waiting List’ after this and will distribute tickets on Wednesday 29th March, as available. Please let us know if you no longer require your ticket.
Woodhead PS Football Teams
Our Boys’ Football Team are excited to take part in their first competition of the year on Monday 27th March! Thank you to Mr Sullivan for working with the children to prepare for this event.
Our Girls’ Team also enjoyed their first outing last week! They participated in games with other local schools and looked very smart in their new tracksuits and strips! Thank you to Mrs Roe for training our girls and taking them along to the event.
A huge thank you to our fantastic PTA for fundraising and purchasing these for our school teams.

I would also like to extend a huge thank you to Mrs Watson, Mrs Keltie and our Teaching Staff, Support Staff, Mrs McBride and the Facilities team for all they have done to ensure our children have the best experience in Woodhead. It is greatly appreciated.
