Spring Newsletter - February Half Term

Hope: A Small Word with a Big Heart 💛

This half term, our Value for Life has been hope — a small word that carries a very big message.

Hope is believing that good things are possible, even when something feels tricky or uncertain. It’s the quiet voice that says, “Let’s try again,” and the brave feeling that helps us keep going. Hope doesn’t mean everything is always easy, but it does mean we don’t give up.

In school, we see hope every day. We see it when a child keeps practising a new skill, even when it feels hard at first. We see it when friends encourage one another, saying, “You can do it!” We see it when mistakes are treated as chances to learn rather than reasons to stop trying. These moments may seem small, but they are powerful — because hope grows through action.

Hope also helps us look after one another. When we show kindness, listen carefully, or help someone who is feeling sad, we are sharing hope. A smile, a thank-you, or a helping hand can remind someone that they are not alone. Hope connects us and helps our school feel safe, caring, and positive.

This half term, children have explored hope through stories, discussions, collective worship time, and daily school life. They have learned that hope is not just something we feel — it’s something we do. When we make good choices, show resilience, and believe in ourselves and others, we are choosing hope.

As we move into the next half term, we encourage everyone — children and adults alike — to keep hope alive. At home, this might look like celebrating effort, talking about worries openly, or reminding one another that tomorrow is a new day. At school, it means continuing to support one another, trying our best, and believing that we can make a difference.

Hope helps us dream, grow, and move forward together. When things feel difficult, hope reminds us that change is possible. And when things are going well, hope helps us imagine how we can make them even better.

Thank you to our whole school community for living out this value and helping hope shine brightly every day. 🌟

On one hand it feels like we only just started back after Christmas and on the other, it feels like Christmas was such a long time ago. Another busy half term with two fantastic class assemblies, celebrating the amazing learning that goes on in every year. They never fail to put a smile on my face.

Please do keep an eye on class dojo and seesaw for updates from class and school. As you can see there is a lot going on next term too, including Parent / Carer meetings with your child’s class teacher so watch out for this information and book your meeting with your child’s class teacher - we look forward to sharing some of their learning with you.

Wishing everyone a happy half term.

Christmas Newsletter - December 2025

At this time of year, Christmas gives us an opportunity to reflect on the important value of love. In the Christian tradition, the Christmas story reminds us of the importance of caring for others, showing kindness, and welcoming everyone — values that are shared across many faiths and cultures.

In our school, love is shown in many ways each day. We see it when children help one another, include others in their games, listen carefully, and show respect and compassion. These everyday acts of kindness help to create a safe, happy, and supportive environment where everyone feels valued.

The festive season also encourages us to think about how we can show love beyond our school community — by being thoughtful at home, supporting those in need, and showing gratitude to the people who care for us.

As we approach the Christmas break, we encourage our children to continue living out the value of love through their actions, remembering that kindness and understanding bring people together, no matter our background or beliefs.

As we come to the end of another busy and rewarding term, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our pupils, staff, parents, and carers for their continued support throughout the year.

This term has been filled with hard work, commitment, and many moments of success. I am incredibly proud of our pupils for their resilience, kindness, and enthusiasm for learning, and grateful to our staff who go above and beyond each day to support them. I would also like to thank parents and carers for the strong partnership we share—it truly makes a difference to our school community.

Christmas is a time for reflection, gratitude, and togetherness. I hope the holiday period offers everyone a chance to rest, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy the festive season.

On behalf of everyone at the school, I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. We look forward to our last few days in school before we break up for the Christmas holidays and then welcoming pupils back refreshed and ready for the year ahead on Monday 5th January.

Autumn Newsletter - October 2025

Generosity

This term, our school has been focusing on the Christian value of Generosity — a value that reminds us how powerful it can be to give freely to others, not just with our money or belongings, but with our time, kindness, and care.

In the Bible, we are reminded that “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). True generosity comes from the heart — it’s about giving because we want to, not because we have to. Jesus showed the ultimate example of generosity through His love, compassion, and sacrifice for others.

At school, we can show generosity in so many ways:

• By sharing our time to help a friend who’s struggling.

• By offering a smile or kind word to brighten someone’s day.

• By giving our best effort in class and on the playground.

• By supporting our community through charity events or thoughtful actions.

Generosity builds stronger friendships, a kinder school, and a more loving world. When we give to others, we don’t lose — we grow. We encourage the children to challenge themselves to give a little more of what really matters: love, patience, and understanding.

We want to make our school a place where generosity is not just something we talk about, but something we live every day! 🌼

It has been such a busy half term and I can’t quite believe we are already 1/6 of the way through the school year. A long half term with lots of achievements, adventures and improvements.

I am so proud of the children, their ongoing courage, perseverance and enthusiasm shine through everyday.

Next half term brings Parents’ Meetings - please make sure you book in on Arbor or contact your child’s class teacher, or the school office, if you are struggling. It is always good to share news of how they are doing and continue to work with you to ensure your children achieve their best.

I hope that everyone has a lovely half term holiday and we look forward to seeing you back on Monday 3rd November for the lead up to Advent and Christmas (my favourite term in many ways!).

Thank you for your continuing support in ensuring we can provide the best possible education for your children - without you, we couldn’t do it!

Last Newsletter of the Year - 19.7.25

Summer Holidays

It may be my age but every school year I feel is disappearing quicker and quicker! It shows the importance of every minute counting in school.

As we are so very near the end of this school year, I feel it is so important to recognise the achievements of this year and how far the children have come as well as looking forward to the new school year. This often brings different emotions, excitement of what is to come, nerves for the unknown and sadness of leaving behind what we know. Really, it is a lot to expect for children to process and the summer holidays are often the time for these emotions so you as parents have the job of navigating this the most.

Young Minds offer some suggestions of how we can support in the best way: https://www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/parents-a-z-mental-health-guide/transitions-and-times-of-change/

I really hope that everyone has a lovely summer and the children all have a fantastic summer holiday (fingers crossed we continue to get some sun!). However, not to be negative, I also know how much pressure we often put on ourselves to make things perfect.

Having holidays with family are often the most valuable time in a child’s life but often we don’t need to go overboard with the plans - just having time with family is enough!

The children have all worked so hard this year and certainly deserve the well earned rest (as do the staff!).

The summer holidays are sometimes difficult for a number of reasons: a long time out of routine; childcare; money worries; and much more.

Try not to put too much pressure on yourselves. If you have a bad day, start again the day after. Not everything you do needs to cost money. Children are often so happy spending time with their parents, going for walks, exploring, playing board games and often just snuggled up watching a film.

Time goes so quickly and before you know it, it will be September and we will be starting the new school year again. As parents, we don’t get many of these and they grow up before we know it. Enjoy the precious summer with your children and we cannot wait to see them back in September ready to learn and continue to grow!

Often in the summer it is difficult to find ideas of things to do (especially with younger ones) - this app is a great resource of ideas of things to do - click on the picture above for more information.

It was great to see the children move up to their new classes this week and meet their new teachers! I do love hearing all of the stories! Also, Year 6 enjoyed their Prom yesterday and we would like to thank all of the parents and families who helped to make this possible.

Next week is about preparation for the next step and the biggest of these is for Year 6 who will be leaving us to move to their new schools. We wish them all the luck in the world and hope that they come back and tell us just how well they are getting on! That is what our job is about at Primary school, getting children ready for that next step in their journey 💖.

I would like to say that in being successful in getting the post of Headteacher at All Saints this term, I am very much looking forward to continuing to work with yourselves to make our school the best place it can be for our children and families. Working together we will always be stronger.

I am pleased to announce that from September, Mrs Casey will be taking on the role of Deputy Headteacher in our school. She will be continuing her class teacher role in the morning in Year 6. I would like to take the opportunity to formally congratulate Mrs Casey on her appointment in this new role.

I wish you all a fantastic summer, once it comes, and wish all of our Year 6 moving on, a successful transition into their new schools.

If anyone needs to get in touch with staff over the holidays, please direct any communication through the enquiries email (enquiries@allsaintsnh-pri.manchester.sch.uk) to protect the non-contact time of staff. We will always aim to get back to you as soon as possible through this and will be monitoring the inbox regularly.

Lastly, thank you for your continuing support in ensuring we can provide the best possible education for your children - without you, we couldn’t do it!

Newsletter 5.7.25

Kindness

Recently, I have been reminding the children about one word that can make our school and world a better place - kindness. Sometimes a smile can change someone’s day.

Kindness is the little things as well as the big things but throughout it all, it is thinking of others as well as ourselves. Seeing when people may need that friend, support, words of encouragement. I am so proud of our children at All Saints, I know we can’t be ‘perfect’ all of the time but the kindness shines out of them. They want to help others and always come to help those in need.

In Assembly yesterday, we gave out more merit certificates than usual and the majority were given out for acts of kindness and for kindness shown to others.

It is so often that we get consumed with so much bad news and bad press, dreadful things happening, life not always going the way we want but understanding that reacting to these things with a more positive outlook and kindness can make a big difference in the way we can see forward. This is something we teach the children.

We never know what kind of a day someone is having before an interaction we may have with them. If we treat everyone with the kindness and respect that we would expect back, our school community will continue to thrive.

Quick Reminder that toys and teddies of any kind shouldn’t be brought to school. I understand that this can seem unfair but it can often cause a lot of distress and issues within the classroom. In EYFS and KS1 we have plenty of our own resources that children can share without the worry of things either going missing or things getting damaged. Thank you for your understanding and support.

World Festivals and Celebrations

Ashura - Islam (4-5th July 2025)

Ashura is a significant day in Islam, particularly for Shia Muslims, commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, in the Battle of Karbala. It is a day of mourning and reflection on Hussein's sacrifice and the injustices he faced. While Shia Muslims primarily observe it as a day of sorrow, Sunni Muslims also acknowledge Ashura, often as a day of fasting and remembrance of Moses's liberation from the Egyptians. 

Look at some of the things we have been getting up to in the last 2 weeks (remember to keep checking Seesaw and Class Dojo for class updates):

---

Well, it has continued to be a busy half term and we still have so much to look forward to!

It was so lovely to see most of our children come back from attending their new schools with such positive stories and excitement for what is to come. I know they will all continue to thrive in their new settings and hope they know how proud of them we are.

As for the rest of the school, they will be moving up to their new classes and meeting their new teachers on Thursday 17th July (children to register in their normal classes and they will then move up to spend some time in their new classes). Transition is always and exciting but nerve wracking time and we will be doing all we can in the next few weeks to make sure that everyone feels confident moving onto their next year group!

Here are the staff in classes for next year:

Nursery: Mrs Tennant, Mrs Percival, Miss Hughes, Mrs Sheridan,Miss Mason

Reception: Miss Sprason, Mrs Percival, Mrs Pollitt, Miss Bulger

Year 1: Mrs Marsden, Miss Heffernan, Miss Radcliffe, Mrs Phillipson

Year 2: Miss Nulty, Miss Heffernan, Mrs Farrimond, Miss Vowles

Year 3: Miss Tanner, Miss Heffernan, Mrs Allen, Mrs Horton

Year 4: Mr Hogan, Mrs Horton

Year 5: Miss England, Miss Joelle

Year 6: Mrs Casey, Miss Caveney, Mrs Tierney

Can I just make a quick plea and reminder about attendance and punctuality. This is an area that still needs improving! We still have a number of children arriving late for school and it causes a lot of disruption in the school office at the start of the day. Gates are open from 8.35am and school starts at 8.45am for Nursery, Reception, Year 4 and Year 6 and 8.50am for Years 1,2,3 and 5. Gates close at 9am and are left open for any latecomers. Therefore, arriving after this is missing a considerable chunk of the day each day and often causes anxiety for children having to go into class once everything has started. Please could we have a push on punctuality this last 13 days and make a difference!

Next week has both the Year 4 trip and our visit from the Animals to Year 1 to look forward to. Exciting!

I hope that everyone has a lovely weekend, whatever you have planned.

Reading for Pleasure

We were blown away by the response to our Book Fair this week - thank you! We loved seeing all of the pictures from our ‘Reading in Unusual Places’ Competition and it really was difficult to pick from them.

If you can encourage your child to read for pleasure, they will really reap the benefits. It might not seem like a particularly important task, but actually, research shows that reading for pleasure can be directly linked to children’s success throughout their time at school and even into adulthood.

Reading for pleasure opens up new worlds for children. It gives them the opportunity to use their imagination to explore new ideas, visit new places and meet new characters. Interestingly, reading for pleasure also improves children’s well-being and empathy. It helps them to understand their own identity, and gives them an insight into the world and the views of others.

Please remember that our children have access to a number of online books through BugClub and MyOn and there are lots of activities on Doodle to help build our reading skills to support them to have the opportunities to read for pleasure.

World Festivals and Celebrations

World Refugee Day recognises the courage and contributions of refugees worldwide who have been forced to flee their homes. It’s a reminder of the need for compassion and support for displaced individuals, advocating for their rights and protection.

Look at some of the things we have been getting up to in the last 2 weeks (remember to keep checking Seesaw and Class Dojo for class updates):

---

We’re nearing the end of the year and I can’t quite believe how quick it has gone! It seems to go quicker every year! It’s probably because we want to fill the year with so much and can’t quite fit it all in! Each time I come to write a newsletter, I realise that I find it so hard to pick out one highlight! In a fortnight period there are so many highlights:

• KS2 Outdoor Adventure Day

• EYFS exploring in their nature garden and finding lots of creatures to show me (they may have enjoyed this more than me - not the biggest fan of insects but seeing their faces made it worth while!)

• Our Book Fair (our first one in a number of years and what a success it was!)

• Urban Crew’s trip out to the Care Home

• Year 2’s trip to Formby Beach

• Year 6’s Leavers’ Service at Manchester Cathedral

… and that’s just the highlights! The children never fail to make the most of their time here at All Saints, as do the teachers, filling the days with so many learning opportunities.

In a few weeks your child’s report will be coming out and this next few weeks, I will have the pleasure of reading them all before they get to you. This is always a particular highlight for me to see how well they have done throughout the year.

Thank you for all of the support during the book fair this week. Thanks to your support, many of your children have new books to read at home and we have managed to raise a whopping £565 for school to spend on new books! We are blown away! Thank you! A highlight of the week for me was when a Year 4 child came into school 2 days later telling us that he had read the whole book already that he had bought at the book fair. Yet again, this is sharing that love of reading and will support your child in their learning. Watch this space for it to return next year!

I hope that everyone has a lovely weekend, whatever you have planned.
