St Francis RC Primary School

We have had a great science week which included some fantastic practical science, sharing of our findings with each other and other classes and even a dress up day with the theme of travel!

Here is Miss Collins demonstrating an awesome chemical reaction to Year 3!

Our year 5 class took part in an amazing project with the RNCM. They worked alongside composers, musicians and opera singers from the college to create an opera based on the story of Thor. Our class composed and performed one section of the story on the stage, with an orchestra, at the RNCM. It was a wonderful experience and every child shone.

School is open today despite the snow! It is great to see that most people have managed to get safely to school. Well done. Just a reminder that if school is closed we will inform parents through our usual text messaging service as well as posting information on this website and informing Key 103 and the Manchester Evening News. If you do not receive these texts we may not have your most up to date phone number. Please let the office staff know of any changes to your contact details.

We have had fun in the snow this afternoon before the children came home.

During online safety lessons this week several children have mentioned using an app called TikTok – this was formerly known as Musical.ly. There were many concerns raised by the children and we ask all parents to read the letter sent home today and to have a look at the information  below. Please note the age restriction of 13+.
