Parent Bulletin - Autumn Half Term 2024

{item_alt_tag}

Headteachers Message

It is a pleasure to welcome you to our new-style parents' newsletter.  Following feedback from parents, we hope that this is a more accessible and easier to navigate format.  We also hope that it contains the information that you would like to see in this weekly bulletin.  

If you do have any feedback please do let us know via the admin@uptonhigh.co.uk email address. 

This half-term has been a really productive term at Upton-by-Chester High School.  Learners have individually and collectively achieved so much, and I am really proud of their achievements and efforts.  This was most obvious in the Awards Evening that took place this term at The Storyhouse.  Learners can be successful in so many ways, and we will continue to recognise and reward as many achievements as we can. 

I hope that all our learners and their families have a lovely half-term break and look forward to seeing the learners return to school on Tuesday 5th November 2024.

Learners who are in receipt of Free School Meals

 

We are in the process of arranging for parents / carers of all FSM learners to receive a £17.50 Tesco gift card, financed through Cheshire West & Chester Council’s Household Support Fund, to assist with purchasing food for your child(ren) over the October Half-Term holiday period.  We will be issuing one gift card for every FSM learner on roll in our school. These gift cards will be emailed to you direct by Tesco at around 10.00 a.m. today (Friday 25th October).  If you cannot see the email in your Inbox please double-check your Junk Email and Clutter folders, just in case it has gone into one of them in error.

If you do not receive a gift card you were expecting please email finance@uptonhigh.co.uk and we will investigate and resolve the matter for you.
