As a proud church school, we know the importance of prayer in our lives. In an open letter, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York invite everyone across the country - whether they have faith or not - to pause, reflect on the pandemic, and to pray.
The Archbishops give thanks for NHS and social care staff, who they describe as “a blessing and lifeline for our nation”; for clergy; other frontline workers; and “so many good neighbours”. They give thanks for the development of vaccines and reiterate a call to everyone to take the vaccine when it is offered.
They also urge people to support each other both by following the guidelines to limit the spread of the virus, and in practical ways, reaching out in care and kindness.

School was awash with cheerfully-festive clothing on Friday 11th December as we celebrated Christmas Jumper Day.
Hats, antlers, tinsel...and more, helped to accessorise the Christmas-themed non-uniform day which was full of smiles and joy.
We even welcomed the most in-demand visitor at this time of year! Ho Ho Ho.
Merry Christmas.

Excitement was everywhere in school today as we welcomed a very special visitor!
Santa Claus came to town, with a bag full of presents for all of the children which had been wrapped and then quarantined for at least 72 hours. He is working in a somewhat different way in school this year!
Thank you to all who helped to arrange for such an exciting guest!

On Friday 13th November, we raised a brilliant £155.85 for the wonderful 'Children in Need' organisation.
Children came to school in non-uniform, with lots of spotty, or Pudsey-inspired clothing brightening up each classroom. Children also enjoyed completing Pudsey-themed work.
Thank you to everyone for your kind support, especially at such a challenging time.
...love one another.

In school, we celebrated the very special event of Armistice Day through buying poppies, completing activities remembering the brave men, women and animals who were lost in conflict, and talking about what the day means and why we mark it.
Through our online assembly, we shared prayers, read a poem, showed our learning about Armistice Day, and before we observed two minutes of silence, Sofia, Callum and Maggie read out the names of the brave men from our village who fell due to World War I.
Despite these unusual times, it is important that as a school, community, Parish and nation, we always remember the fallen, and also see that we can (and will) come through times of adversity.

Many, many thanks to all who were able to donate goods towards our Harvest this year.
The food will help lots of local families here in our community and other local families through the Food Bank. This help is especially important during this time of uncertainty and as Christmas approaches.
A lovely gesture which will make a difference to the lives of others.
...love God, love one another.

Sessions for families in Cheadle take place at 10.00am on Fridays.
All you need is you, a connection to Zoom…and a brew! It’s totally up to you whether you just listen or join in the conversation with people in your community.

As the time for Christmas shopping is fast approaching we would like to share with you a way that you can raise funds for your PTA, here at St Werburgh's C.E. Primary School.
As many parents/carers will already be aware, we have had an 'easy fundraising' account for a number of years and last year, we launched our Amazon Smile account too. For new parents/carers, we wanted to explain that this is a way of raising money for charities without having to spend anything extra from your own pocket.
For Amazon Smile: if you log onto Amazon through the Amazon Smile app and choose St Werburgh’s PTA Kingsley as your chosen charity, they will then donate 0.5% of whatever you spend on Amazon directly to our PTA.
For Easy Fundraising: if you use the 'Easy Fundraising' app and then log onto a variety of websites through easy fundraising eg Ebay, Argos, M&S, Debenhams, Go Compare etc (there are 100+ participants) and choose St Werburghs PTA Kingsley as your chosen charity, again we will receive a percentage of what you spend with no extra cost to yourselves.
By parents/carers shopping via the 'Easy Fundraising' app for our PTA charity we have so far raised £422.53 and £22.59 through Amazon Smile. It is a simple way to raise money with no cost to us as parents/carers.
We continue to be so grateful for your support and efforts towards raising money for our children here at St Werburgh's C.E. Primary.
