Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting
the welfare of children and young people. We expect all
staff, visitors and volunteers to share this commitment.
If you have concerns regarding the safeguarding or
welfare of any of our pupils, please contact Mrs Elder

Following the report of an incident of domestic abuse,
school will be advised that the child has been involved.

Hello Purple Class, Mrs Smith here.
Please keep checking this page for updates.
Dear Parents,
There will be two zooms a day (Maths and English). I will do a half an hour guided task on Zoom, followed by an independent task to be completed after the lesson. I will also upload a weekly plan for English, Maths and Topic onto the class page. Use the Supporting Documents to help with Topic work. Please complete any home learning in your homework books, if you don't have your homework book, please collect from school.
I have created home learning packs that are available to collect from the school office. Learning packs are to be done as and when possible, in addition to the weekly lessons.
If you have finished your reading books, please email me to let me know. I will leave a new book in the school office for you to collect. Alternatively, there are many free books to access via the home learning links below.
It is really important to keep working hard at home. Make sure you keep to a routine. School work will be added to the website regularly.
If you haven't emailed your email address, please can you do so to receive the zoom links, which will be emailed out each morning.
If you have any questions or need any support at home please email
asmith@st-josephs-bacup.lancs.sch.uk
Thank you
