9th October-13th October 2023
This week we are focusing on Life Skills. It is so important that we equip our children with skills that not only support their academic progress, but also, those that they can use in everyday life.
This week classes have been working with Open View Education, raising awareness of positive Mental Health. Children have been working with Denise from HSBC, talking about money matters and also learning First Aid skills with Centaur, amongst other activities.
The children have been fantastic - as usual.
It is great to have themed weeks with a range of visitors to enhance our curriculum offer for our children.
Funds have been allocated to refurbish the children’s play area at Tardy Gate, Lostock Hall. The improvements are proposed to take place in the summer of 2024 and will provide new equipment for toddlers (ages 2-6), juniors (ages 7-12) and an improved kickabout area with additional dynamic equipment for the juniors/teens. A new skate park is also proposed as part of the project. How you can get involved Ideas for new equipment can be viewed and feedback left at: https://yoursay.citizenspace.com/parks-andneighbourhoods/tardygate

Unexpected visitor! 28.6.23
Today we had an unexpected visitor....Costa the parrot had been startled at home on Sunday by a naughty magpie and ended up flying away. She usually lives in Clayton-Le-Woods but found her way to Lostock Hall on Wednesday.
We were fortunate enough to use Social Media to reunite Costa with her human Mum and Dad....we love a happy ending!
Costa sent us a message....
I was missing since Sunday 25th June 2023, I was being chased by a magpie. I found my way to your school.
Thanks to all you children and teachers of Lostock Hall Primary School, I was reunited with my human parents. It was my 2nd birthday the day you helped me.
Thank you so much for being so kind, helping me find my way back home safe.

South Ribble Borough Council Sports Awards 14.10.22
Our school was nominated for 'Primary School of the Year 2022' by Darryl Cartwright. Thanks to all the hard work that Mr Law and Mr Jardine do to ensure the children of our school get a fantastic offer, we WON!!!
Today and in the coming weeks, we will mourn our Queen. Our love, thoughts, prayers and condolences go to King Charles III and the entire Royal Family.
Today we will remember the Queen who reigned for 70 years, she dedicated her life to our country and to many countries across the world within the Commonwealth. Her sheer loyalty, commitment and strength is something for all of us to admire. She was a role model, she advocated cooperation, collaboration and equality and that is a lesson to us all.
She shared her life with us, her love of her family, horses and adorable corgis. She invited us into her palace every Christmas Day to send us messages of love and positivity.
I personally felt our Queen was an inspiration, her selfless commitment went above and beyond all expectations.
In the coming months we will move forward, remembering all she has done for our country, acknowledging her devotion and determination.
We will embrace our new King, we will follow King Charles III’s guidance and be assured he we provide us with the direction our country needs.
God save the King.
Our Pupil Leaders (Joseph, Piper, Aster and Kayden) all came to the Axia HT meeting to meet our neighbouring MP Katherine Fletcher.
The children asked some fantastic questions!
I am so proud of how they represented our school and the pupils of Axia Learning Alliance.
