• Summer diary dates

  Tue 24 Jun 2025

  To all our Highbank families,

   

  It is a very busy time at Highbank over the next few weeks and we appreciate that it can be difficult to remember everything that is happening. We have put together the attached Key Dates posters so you can see what is coming up between now and the end of term.

   

  The first event coming up is the Good to Be Me day next Friday (27^th June). This is a celebration day taking place across all the Transform schools where the focus is celebrating what makes us all unique. Pupils can come to school dressed in whatever makes them feel most themselves. This may be some sports clothes that makes them feel fantastic, clothes that share their culture or simply wear something in their favourite colour. There is no donation required.

   

  In terms of the other events listed, letters with further details will be sent out in due course to the relevant year groups. If, however, you do have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher.

   

  Kind regards,

  Mrs Wan and the Highbank Team

  To all our Highbank families,

   

  We have a very busy few weeks coming up so will be shortly sending out a key dates overview so you can make sure you have everything in your diary. What you will notice is absent this year is our Summer Fair. Whilst we love the Summer Fair and the opportunity it brings to see more of our families, it is an incredibly large undertaking that, without a PTA, is quite difficult for our already very hard-working and busy team. Instead, we have arranged for all pupils to take part in an inflatable fun day at school – more information on that to follow!

   

  We feel very lucky at Highbank to have so many invested families who want to contribute to and support school life. With this in mind, we are looking into starting a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) from September. We would like this PTA to work with Highbank and help support us in putting on key fundraising events throughout the year (hopefully including a Summer Fair next year!) If you are interested in joining the PTA, please let Mrs Wan know, either on the gate or by sending a WEDUC. We will look how many people are interested and go from there!

   

  Kind regards,

   

  Mrs Wan
