Message from Mr GaughanWelcome to our first e-newsletter for parents. We have listened to your feedback regarding communication with parents and hope this weekly e-newsletter will help create a regular channel of information and news about what’s happening in our school.

As you can see from this week’s newsletter, there is an array of opportunities and activities your child can be involved in and we strongly encourage all our pupils to participate in an extra-curricular activity and engage fully in the life of Holy Cross.

We are delighted to congratulate Mr John Riley on his Headship appointment to St Chad’s RC Primary School and look forward to working with him.

Our visit to Italy was a huge success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.If you have any comments suggestions about our newsletter please email admin@holycross.lancs.sch.uk
