Dear Parents,
Here is a copy of a letter which, on this occasion, I am also sending by hard copy as I want to ensure all do see this. This is a very important year of decisions for our Year 6 parents --- and will soon be for our Year 5 parents - in choosing the secondary school for your child.
I always urge that - whatever you decide - it is important to make a thoroughly INFORMED decision. Ignore what others say or think -- find out and decide for your self and the best way to do this is to meet with professionals and also go into the schools.
On Tuesday 8th September - next week - Senior leadership from Newman RC College will be visiting this school to meet both children and parents. They will talk with and answer questions from Y6 pupils and will be here after school from 3.30pm to meet parents. It is a chance for parents to be informed and to ask any questions.
We have a particular affiliation with Newman - not only because it is our Catholic feeder school - but because we are proudly part of a formal Federation of Oldham Catholic Schools. I urge parents to use this opportunity. Please read the letter.
I am also including Year 5 parents in this communication. A number are wisely thinking ahead and Y5 parents would be most welcome also (indeed any interested parent). Children can stay here in school whilst parents meet with the Newman Staff.
I hope you find this very helpful
