Kirkburton Middle School Parents’ Bulletin - October 2022 Headteacher’s Introduction A new look parent bulletin Welcome to our first full parent bulletin of the year after the reduced version two weeks ago. Following feedback received from our parent forum last year, we have changed the format of how we will report news to you over the course of the year. We will still publish our fortnightly bulletin however, we will endeavour to slim down the content and stick to the most important information we need to share with parents at that point. At the end of each term, we will produce a full newsletter which will contain an in depth look at the work of the school and all the exciting things that have happened that term. We hope this makes it easier for you to keep up with news and events at KMS. We would welcome any feedback on this. One of the best ways to stay in touch with the work of the school is to follow the school via social media - Facebook: Kirkburton Middle School, Twitter: @KMSchool.
Open Evening Thursday 13th October 5pm - 8pm We look forward to welcoming prospective parents to our annual Open Evening on Thursday 13th October. As with previous years, we expect to have places available in our Year 7 cohort of 2023 as well as the usual spaces for our new Year 6 cohort. For Year 7 places applications must be made here on the Kirklees website by 31st October at the latest. The deadline for Year 6 places is 15th January. Please spread the word to family and friends. Applying for a Year 9 place next year All Year 8 pupils have received information about applying for a Year 9 place next year. Further details can be found here on the Kirklees website.
