Dear Parents,

Congratulations to all our cricketers both teams were a credit to the school and a good time was had by all.

Congratulations also go out to our Maths challenge teams who had a great time at Glossopdale solving tricky maths puzzles.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in the Scoot and Skate, it was a lovely relaxed event.  If you can call anything involving whizzing children relaxed.  There is some popcorn left and I think it is being sold after school tomorrow.

Next Tuesday Harriers will be showing just how good they have become on the clarinet.  They are putting on a concert at 1.50 please join us if you can.  At 7pm we are holding a musical evening with performances by the choir and the instrumentalists.

Assembly tomorrow will be led by Kites and on 27th June Eagles are leading it.  Please join us if you can.

 

A few things from St Luke’s Church…

Hello!  In case you haven’t heard, I am moving to Chesterfield at the end of June.  I’d just like to take this opportunity to say how much I’ve enjoyed the link between St Luke’s Church and St Luke’s School.  This has taken many different forms over the years that I have been Associate Minister in the parish, but to highlight one thing I’ve really valued the chance to talk to the children in assemblies.  I’ve always been impressed by their attentiveness and good behaviour – they are a credit to you and the school.  The process for recruiting a new Associate Minister is well underway and I am sure that whoever is appointed will seek to build on the already good links that have been established.  But before I go, I’d like to highlight a couple of things. 

Firstly, I’d love to see as many as the children as possible come along to a special All-Age Service at St Luke’s this Sunday, 22nd June, at 10.45.  We’ll be thinking about what heaven is like.  Some of the children from school will be involved up-front during the service and as part of the service I am going to feature pieces of artwork that some of the children have done at school.  Come and see what St Luke’s children think heaven is like – you may be surprised! 

Secondly, just to highlight that the weekly Quest Club has now started, meeting Tuesday lunchtimes 12.30 onwards, for the upper school years.  Quest Club is all about having fun together with games, mini-craft activities and gentle teaching about stories from the Bible.  All lead by some really nice and experienced volunteers from St Luke’s Church.  Please encourage your child to come along and try it out! 

With every blessing for the future,

Rev’d Brian Magorrian

 

Message from The Governing Body

Dear parents,
As I’m sure you’re aware, the staff and senior management team of St Luke’s have been working very hard over the past few years to raise standards and ensure that the outcomes for the children are the best they can be.
The governing body have also been working hard to support and challenge the school in their journey to an Ofsted “Good”. As part of this, Ofsted and the governors would really like to know what you, the parents and carers, think of the school and how your children are doing here. We will use this information to target our activities over the next academic year, and prospective parents can view the comments when choosing a school.

If you would like to give Ofsted and us feedback, please click the link below, this will take you to the Ofsted “Parent View” website. http://goo.gl/5RYxg5 (please note the capital letters, if you are typing it)
