Low Ash Primary

I can't quite believe it's half-term already. The past 5 weeks have definitely flown by. We hope you all have a lovely break and, remember, we don't return to school until Monday 9th June.

A huge well done to this half-term's Golden Learners.

This week's school attendance is 94.3%.

Whole school attendance so far this year is 95.1%.

Early Years/Key Stage 1 class of the week is 2M with 97.6% attendance!

Key Stage 2 class of the week is 5B with 99.3% attendance - well done!

We try to keep the 2 weeks holiday at this time of year to allow you to make the most of the second week. This is often cheaper to go away due to the majority of schools being back. Once more we ask you to please not take holidays in term time. We are unable to authorise these.

Week beginning 14th July - Healthy Schools Week (sports days will take place this week - a separate ping has been sent out with dates.)

Monday 21st July (after school) - Summer fair

Every day this week the pupils have been walking or running their miles (10 times around the sports field). We hope they have enjoyed this event - they definitely seemed to! Thank you to all pupils who have collected sponsorship for school. We will let you know how much pupils raised in due course.

In addition to this we of course had the staff 3 peaks challenge on Saturday. It was definitely a challenging day but we all enjoyed the event and raised some much needed funds for school. With cash donations as well, the staff challenge has raised over £2500. A huge thank you to Finley in Reception for awarding all staff who took part with medals - we really appreciated it.

We are pleased that the sponsored walk and staff challenge has inspired some of our pupils. Leo from Year 3 challenged himself to walk 24 miles in May outside of school. Currently he has walked over 30 miles and the month is not over yet!

We know holidays can be an expensive time so we have found some free days out which may be of interest to you. Click on the links below to find out more about the Keighley sculpture trail, events in Roberts Park and also activities which are taking place at Bradford Cathedral.

Half-Term Family Activities (Morning Session) (27-May-2025) · ChurchSuite Events

Thank you to those who joined us at the FOLA craft session yesterday. We hope you enjoyed the event and took home some masterpieces!

Our first family breakfast, which took place on Tuesday, was a great success. We plan to hold one of these each half term so, if you didn't manage to get a spot this time, look out for next half term's date.

It's been a very busy week in the Low Ash sporting calendar! On Tuesday a team of pupils took part in the Brownlee triathlon and we also had an U11 cricket tournament. This was followed by the Inclusion games at Blakehill Primary on Wednesday. All pupils should be very proud of themselves!

Next week's question should you wish to discuss it at home is Who do you talk to in school about your worries?

As many as 70% of teenagers have seen violent content online and this is becoming every more common with primary aged pupils. We hope the attached guidance will help you to keep you child safe online.

We hope you all have a lovely break and we will see you on Monday 9th June.
