  Congratulations to Friday's stars for demonstrating perseverance and living out this week’s Bible quote: “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” We are all proud of your positive attitude to learning.

  Well done to our sporting star and out-of-school achievers in football, swimming, and at Squirrels. The table tennis team had a great time at GCA and developed their skills throughout the event.

  Happy birthday to our children celebrating this week. Have a great day!

  

• First Aid- Saving Lives

  Fri 20 Mar 2026

  Well done to KS2, who were brilliantly engaged during their first aid session yesterday, learning vital, life-saving skills. The trainer was impressed with their current knowledge and attention throughout the session — she said they were all brilliant!

  If your child enjoyed the taster session, they can enrol in a 6-week programme running as an after-school club in Summer 2.

  

• Mothers' Day

  Wed 18 Mar 2026

  Thank you for joining us in church to celebrate Mothers' Day—it was lovely to see so many of you and to share the children’s service, 'Shining brightly through love' whilst listening to their poems and beautiful songs.

  Thank you also to everyone who joined us for the Mothers' Day lunches; it was fantastic to see so many of you enjoying lunch and spending time with your children.

• New Defib!

  Thu 12 Mar 2026

  A huge thanks to Garstang Rotary, and to Mr Peter Bond and his colleague from North West Ambulance, who presented us with our new defibrillator yesterday. We were also joined by Mr Stephen Isles, Mr Paul Rogers and Mr Tom Pendlebury from Garstang Rotary.

  In addition, we presented a cheque to Garstang Rotary towards their defibrillator fundraising efforts, following our “Wear a Non-Red Jumper” day on 13th February.

  

• Road Safety

  Fri 06 Mar 2026

  Our Year 4, 5, and 6 School Councillors met with Hamish, the Road Safety Officer from Lancashire County Council, this morning to discuss ways of tackling the parking issues around our school.

  After a discussion and a vote, Pippa and Penny were nominated as our Junior Road Safety Ambassadors. However, the whole School Council will continue working together to help improve road safety outside school.

  News will soon be shared about a competition to design new road safety banners, as well as the possibility of a Road Safety March in the summer term!

  

• A fun and busy week!

  Fri 06 Mar 2026

  We are so proud of all our children and our school community this week. We began on Monday with a lovely worship led by Mr Wilkinson, reflecting on Lent and thinking about letting go of things that distract us or prevent us from developing a deeper relationship with God. Thank you to Ellie for helping to demonstrate this important message.

  Yesterday we had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day and sharing our love of books. The children looked fabulous in their pyjamas and were all ready to cuddle up and share a story with our parent visitors in the afternoon. Thank you to everyone who had the chance to attend. ( More pictures to follow)

  Well done to this week’s Stars for consistently demonstrating respect across our school to both adults and their peers.

  We are also incredibly proud of our Year 5/6 children who represented the school brilliantly at GCA last night in the Glow Dodgeball competition. It was especially lovely to hear from staff at other schools about how well behaved our children were — it makes us all very proud. Thank you for representing our school so well.

  Happy birthday to Austin, who celebrates this week. We hope you have a wonderful party.

  Congratulations as well to our children who are excelling outside of school in Squirrels, dance, cricket and swimming. Keep up the amazing work!

  

• OPAL play

  Thu 05 Mar 2026

  The beautiful weather  made OPAL play at lunchtime even more enjoyable. Children took part in a wide variety of activities including dance, cheerleading, scooting, football, gymnastics, Lego and time in the mud kitchen. It was wonderful to see pupils playing together, sharing equipment and showing great teamwork as they created games, built together and encouraged one another.

  Congratulations to this week’s Stars for showing us how well they can follow our school expectations — behaving kindly and safely, respecting people and property, and listening carefully and following instructions. We really appreciate all your efforts.

  Well done to Willow and Lizzy for their fantastic achievements outside of school. Willow received a medal for dancing the Waltz, which is a wonderful accomplishment, and Lillie earned her Brownie 100 badge — a great milestone. We are very proud of you both for your dedication and hard work. 🎉

  Congratulations to this week’s stars for demonstrating the value of thankfulness in their learning, friendships, manners, and thoughtfulness. We are very proud of you all!

  Well done to our sporting stars who have recently achieved awards in ice skating, swimming, gymnastics, fencing and cricket. Congratulations also to our Year 3/4 boys for representing the school at Glow Dodgeball last night. Mrs Shields shared that Miss Rainbow at Garstang Academy commented on your fantastic behaviour, which makes us all very proud. She also said you were the best dressed! A huge thank you to Mrs Shields for accompanying the boys on her day off—it is truly appreciated.

  Happy birthday to Connie and Ophelia! We hope you both have a fabulous day when it comes.
