P.E day is Tuesday. Children need to come into school in their full PE kit.

If your child did not pass the phonics screening in Year 1, they will re-sit this in June 2024. 

Finally, we would like to thank you for the continued support you give as parents to our Year 2 children and Salfords Primary School. Our pupils try to show as many school values as possible on a daily basis because they aspire to be great role models for the other children!

If you ever have any queries or questions, please do not hesitate to contact either class teacher.

Thank you and 'Be your best'!
