HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 24 MARCH 2023 A note from the Head…
Thank you!
Some of our families will be observing Ramadan for the next few weeks and we are aware that perhaps a handful of girls will try fasting on some days. It is really important that we know about anyone who might be fasting so that we can keep a close eye on them and make sure that they are feeling okay. Girls are expected to take a full part in school activities as usual, but is it useful for staff to be aware. Please notify us if this applies to your daughter.
Our donations of uniform have arrived in Malawi, along with the bags of toiletries and stationery. You can see from these photographs how delighted the children were! Thank you once again for your support.
Eid is likely to be celebrated on Friday 21 April. Absences will be authorised for Eid, but do please make sure that you inform the office in advance if your daughter is not going to be in school. Next week we have Easter Bingo! Year 5 and 6 girls are invited to play on Monday at 1.00pm and Year 3 and 4 will have their session on Tuesday at 1.00pm. This costs £1 to enter. All girls receive a treat for playing, with Easter Egg prizes for the winners. This will be our last Newsletter before Easter and therefore I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a relaxing and enjoyable family break. We start back for the Spring Term on Monday 17 April. Summer dresses are no longer part of our uniform and are not for sale in the shop, but we are allowing girls who already have these to wear them after Easter if they wish. Otherwise, uniform remains the same – skirt, shirt, jumper (if needed) and blazer, with black socks. Please do make sure your daughter always has a coat with her and a reminder that these should be plain and black.

Twitter Please follow us on twitter @BSPDJnrGirls Pupil Achievements We love to celebrate the girls’ achievements and would encourage them to bring in any medals, certificates, trophies and awards that they are given outside of school. We can’t always put everything in the Newsletter, but like to give the girls the opportunity to share these in our Friday Achievement Assembly. This week we heard from Year 4 pupil Lily, who participated in the UK Cubing Association’s Speedcubing Competition, which took place in the Senior School last weekend. Lily is known in school for being amazing in solving the Rubik’s cube very quickly and clearly put her skills to good use!
