Kindness term

Natalie McGillivary
We would like to thank the parents of our Year 7 – 9 students for their generous donations for the shoebox appeal. This year we have managed to produce 172 boxes for Manchester Street Angels, which is a record!
We are asking students in Years 10 – 13 to ‘club together’ in their Forms in order to provide Christmas presents for children associated with Warrington Youth Zone and Mission Christmas. We did this last year, and it was a huge success. The deadline to hand these gifts into Mr Hayes (S107) is Friday 12th December.
As part of our Kindness term, students have been having discussions in Form time to plan out an act of kindness. The best examples will secure prizes and a place on our hallowed ‘Wall of Kindness’. Please encourage your son/daughter to take part in this great initiative.

Cross-Country

A reminder that the next Walton Hall Gardens Cross Country Race is taking place on Saturday 13th December. To read the original letter sent home, click here. Please note, however, for this race:

  • The start time is now due to be 12pm.
  • Runners will be asked to wear a number to identify them from other year groups, so safety pins would be helpful. Although Mr Scott will bring a supply with him.

Any help parents could provide with marshalling or helping record scores, etc., would be much appreciated.

Warrington’s Own Buses – important update

Helena Headon

Please see below a message from Warrington’s Own Buses:

As from Monday morning (8th September 2025), we will be rerouting service 40 to cover service 41 from Chester Road/Ackers Road – it will still run as normal as far as this point from Stretton. This means it will now run via the A56 (Chester Road and Stockport Road) instead of via Ackers Lane, Knutsford Road, Bradshaw Lane, Thelwall New Road and Bell Lane.

Passengers who currently catch service 40 on Ackers Road can catch the approx. 0731 service 5 which calls into school at 0756. Passengers between Pilling Gardens and school have the option of services 5, 39, 40B and 42A.
