Sports Days 2023
Fri 23 Jun 2023Dear Parents/Carers,
Sports Day 2023
Sports Day will be held at Lower Gigg playing fields on Tuesday 11th July 2023 and Thursday 13th July 2023.
We are being supported by our wonderful sports coaches from Edstart again this year so it is sure to be a spectacular event.
Reception, Year One and Year Two will be from 9:30am until 11:45am on Tuesday 11th July 2023.
Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 will be from 9:30am until 11:45am on Thursday 13th July 2023.
All parents and carers are welcome to come and join us down at Lower Gigg to watch their child/children taking part. If you take any photographs or videos please do not share them on any form of social media.
Nursery children will be having a mini Sports Day here in school both in the morning and afternoon of Wednesday 12th July 2023. Sadly due to space constraints we will unfortunately be unable to accommodate parents and carers at Nursery Sports Day.
All children will be walked to Lower Gigg and back by school staff.
Should the weather change and we find that we have to postpone Sports Day we will notify parents and carers via Parenthub by 8:30am. (If you have not downloaded the app there are posters all round school that show you how to do so).

Ofsted Inspection 22nd March 2023
Tue 21 Mar 2023Please see below a letter that has gone out to families today to advise of our Ofsted Inspection that starts tomorrow.
Also sent out with the letter is A Guide for Parents which can also be found on out letters page.
21 March 2023
Dear parent or carer
Inspection of St Luke's CofE Primary School by Ofsted
We have just told your child's school that we will inspect it on 22 March 2023. The lead inspector will be Jo Olsson, HMI. We are writing to you because we would like to know what you think about the school. Please take a few minutes to read the leaflet that came with this letter. It explains why we inspect schools and what happens during an inspection.
Your views about the school are important to us
If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), you can tell us your views about the school by completing Ofsted's online survey, Ofsted Parent View, at: https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.
Ofsted Parent View asks for your opinion on some aspects of your child's school, including the progress made by your child, the quality of teaching, how the school deals with bullying and poor behaviour. It also provides a free-text box for you to make additional comments, if you wish. The inspectors will use the online survey responses when inspecting your child's school. Written comments can also be sent to the school in a sealed envelope, marked confidential and addressed to the inspection team.
To register your views, you will need to provide your email address, which will be held securely. It will not be used for any purpose other than providing access to the online survey. Neither schools nor Ofsted will have access to any email addresses.
Please complete the online survey by 11am on 22 March 2023 as this will give the inspection team more time to consider your views. However, we will consider all online responses that are completed during the inspection, although the free-text box facility will not be available after noon on 23 March 2023.
Speaking to an inspector
If you are unable to complete the online survey, it may be possible to speak to an inspector during the inspection, for instance at the start of the school day, or to pass on messages to the inspectors if you are unable to speak to them in person. Inspection administrators will be happy to make the necessary arrangements. If concerns are raised about child protection, we may have to pass the information we receive to social services or the police. You can contact the administrators on 03000131563. Inspectors will be pleased to receive your comments, but cannot deal with complaints about individual pupils or settle disputes between you and the school.
Gathering personal information on inspection
Inspectors will gather any personal information necessary to assist them in inspecting a school. Our privacy policy sets out what personal information we collect, what we do with it, how long we keep it and individuals' rights under data protection legislation. The contact details for Ofsted's Data Protection Officer are: Email - informationrequest@ofsted.gov.uk; Post - Information management team, Ofsted, 2 Rivergate, Temple Quay, Bristol, BS1 6EH.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the online survey.
Yours faithfully
Vicky Stinton
Inspection support administrator

Book Fair 2023
Fri 10 Mar 2023Dear Parents/Carers,
Scholastic Book Fair
Next week the Scholastic book Fair will be returning to St. Luke’s. The Book Fair will arrive on Wednesday 15th March and stay with us until Tuesday 21st March.
Children and families will be able to visit the book fair in the small hall after school on each of these days from 3:15pm until 3:45pm.
Children can use the £1 Book Token they received last week towards the cost of a book, payments can also be made as follows –
- Cash (please do not send cash in with children)
- Card payments will also be available in the hall on the days of the book fair.
- You can pay easily and securely for these books and many more when you attend the Fair by using our online payment link at www.bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/pay and simply selecting your school from the drop down menu.
- If you’re unable to visit the Book Fair, your child will be sent home with a Wish List and you can pay for their chosen books using our online payment system. Please make sure the Wish List is returned to your child’s school.
- Pre-paid gift vouchers are available in £5, £10, £15, £20 and £25. Go to www.bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/gift-vouchers to buy vouchers for your child before the Fair.
Please come along and have a look at the books we have on offer, the more money that school raises the more books we can claim for our school library. There will be lots of books to choose from for all ages and abilities.
Before the fair arrives you can have a look on line at the virtual bookcases to see what books will be available

Kind Regards
Miss M Michael
Headteacher

Non Uniform Day Friday 17th February
Tue 14 Feb 2023Non-Uniform Day to Support the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal
As you will have seen in the news recently Turkey and Syria have been hit by devastating earthquakes, destroying hundreds of buildings and leaving tens of thousands of people without shelter in freezing winter conditions and in need of urgent aid.
The Disasters Emergency Committee is raising funds to provide desperately needed blankets, emergency shelter, food and clean water.
At the request of some of our families we are going to try and help the appeal by holding a non-uniform day on Friday 17th February.
In return for children coming to school in non-uniform we are asking for donation of £1 (or whatever you can afford) that we can then forward onto the Disasters Emergency Committee to help them get much needed support to those that need it.
Thank you as always for your support.
