HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER
A note from the Head…
It has been another very busy week for the girls at Hesketh House. Year 3 have been doing their assessments, following a very successful first trip to Patterdale Hall last week. Both Year 4 and Year 5 girls have enjoyed their visits this week, hopefully you have kept up with their adventures on X!
Also this week, Year 6 girls have been doing their Bikeability cycling course. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the opportunity to learn some new skills.
A reminder that general queries should be directed to the Hesketh House office 01204 434761 or juniorgirls@boltonschool.org.uk. Please do not use staff email addresses for urgent messages, as these may not be checked as regularly, particularly if a member of staff is out of school for some reason. Please could we also ask that you include your daughter’s name and form on any emails.
