HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 19 JANUARY 2024
A note from the Head…
Music Theory Examinations
Congratulations to all of the Year 6 girls who have taken the Senior School Entrance Examination this week, and most have also now had their interviews as well. The girls usually impress in these situations with their excellent oracy skills and many have even admitted to enjoying the experience! Well done.
Congratulations to Arwa Bhatia, Ayah Dawoud and Jena Ghauri, who all achieved a Distinction in their Step Music Theory Examinations. Well done!
Please could I remind you that all general queries and messages should be directed to the Hesketh House office juniorgirls@boltonschool.org.uk or 01204 434761. Please include your daughter’s name and form in any emails.
The Friends of Bolton School are considering holding a Foundation-wide daytime summer family event in June. There will be a meeting on Tuesday 23 January at 7.00pm in the Leverhulme Suite to discuss ideas for such an event. If you are interested in getting involved, please do come along. Such an event can only take place with the input of parents and volunteers from across the whole Foundation. If you are unable to come to the meeting but are still interested in getting involved with the planning, then please email bsbdpa@gmail.com and we can keep you updated.
Please do not email teaching staff with urgent messages, as they may not able to monitor emails throughout the day, and certainly wouldn’t pick these up if they were out of school for any reason. If in doubt, please contact the office; we will direct any emails to the appropriate teacher if necessary. The office email is always monitored throughout the day. Mrs C Laverick Severe Weather Arrangements The Severe Weather Arrangements were emailed to parents last term, a copy can be found here. The key points are that information will be posted on the front page of the school website (www.boltonschool.org), usually by 7.00am, and we would be grateful if parents would use the website as the first port of call. You will also be sent an email, and news often first appears on School X Accounts such as @Philip_Britton, @sfboltonschool, @BSPDJnrGirls. Individual Music Lessons If you are interested in your child taking up music lessons within school, please look through our Visiting Music Teachers brochure here for further details. If you have any questions about individual music lessons at school, please contact Mr Forgrieve, ikf@boltonschool.org.
