Barlaston First School

Weekly Newsletter

Let your light shine through family, friendship and faith

“Enabling our whole school community to flourish and let their light shine, preparing them for their role as gentle and humble agents for change in the world we share.”

Discos

School discos take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.  Details of dates and times for each key stage are set out below. 

Parking

As you may be aware we now have a new lollipop lady. This now makes it much easier and safer to park at the church when dropping off in the mornings and picking up in the afternoons, and will ease the situation in Broughton Crescent.  If you do need to park in the crescent, or indeed on Longton Road, please park respectfully and with consideration for our neighbours and the safety of others.

Please don’t drive into the school car park, even when dropping off and picking up for before and after-school club.  The car park is very narrow and we do need to keep traffic in and out of it to a minimum.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Dogs

Thank you for not bringing your dogs into the school grounds.  This makes a big difference to all of the children who feel a little unsure around them.

 

Holiday Club

Thank you to those who have already booked onto holiday club to enjoy the reduced rate. 

A reminder to book on by 5pm on Tuesday to get the reduced rates. After this the full rate will apply.
