• Consultation to Lower the School Age of St Bede's Catholic Primary School

  Mon 22 Feb 2021 Louise Swarbrick

  Background

  The Governing Body of St Bede’s Catholic Primary School wishes to lower the school age to 3 years from 1 September 2021. This will replace the current Section 27 Nursery arrangement.

  The Proposal

  The Nursery provision will continue to be for twenty-six places (full time equivalent) with children admitted the term after their third birthday. Places will be available to families in receipt of free childcare through the government’s Extended Childcare Offer. There will be an admissions policy to co-ordinate the allocation of places.

  The school’s reception class admission number of 30 will not be changed as a result of this proposal.
   

  How to Respond

  The Governing Body of St Bede’s Catholic Primary School want to ensure that parents and any other interested parties have sufficient opportunity to give their views. You are invited to submit comments in writing about the proposal above to: The Chair of Governors, St Bede’s Catholic Primary School, Preston Road, Chorley PR6 7EB
   

  Alternatively you may wish to e-mail: bursar@st-bedes.lancs.sch.uk

  Please submit any comments by 22 March 2021.  The Governing Body will meet in the Summer term to consider the formal ratification of the change.

• The Return of Sunday Mass

  Fri 11 Oct 2019 Louise Swarbrick
  We are delighted to let families know that from Sunday 13 October there will be a Mass at St Bede's Church at 11am every week. On Sunday 20 October Little Church will also resume at 11am. Father Graeme and Father Kenny will be celebrating Sunday Mass on alternate weeks.

• Guitars for Cuba

  Fri 22 Mar 2019 Louise Swarbrick

  On Thursday the Year 3 guitar group handed over eight guitars to Ian Mountain from an organisation called Play for Cuba. Due to restrictions in Cuba, it is difficult to obtain instruments such as guitars and brass instruments. We had a number of guitars which had been left by former pupils. We thought that this was a good way to help children less fortunate than us.

   

  

• Litter Picking Banner

  Thu 18 Oct 2018 L Crompton
  On Wednesday 17 October representatives from our local Parish Council delivered a litter picking banner featuring brilliant anti-litter posters created by the children at St Bede's. This banner will shortly be displayed on our school railings to remind everyone to put their litter in a bin and keep our community clean. Thank you to Clayton-le-Woods Parish Council for this fabulous initiative.
