The Chronicle

Our Christmas Light Trail was a success once again! Fifteen families lit up their homes and hid a letter amongst their light display. The children were all sent home with a map and asked to find all fifteen letters, solve the anagram and return their form to school. All entries were placed in a hat and Patrick Fuchss was randomly selected as the winner by Mr Duigan. All entrants were also asked to identify their favourite light display - the winning house was the O'Hallorans' on Thickthorn Close! Congratulations!! And thank you to all who took part in this magical experience.

Thank you all so much for buying your raffle tickets before Christmas.

This has helped us raise over £500! 

We are happy to announce the PTA second hand uniform shop will be going back to face to face sales!

This will take place on Fridays between 8:30-10:00am (before and during the Celebration Assembly), 
outside the hall entrance.

We can only accommodate one year group at a time, so please continue to use the uniform@pta.crackleyhall.co.uk email to submit your requests if you haven’t been invited to the assembly for your child’s year group.

We are able to take cards, cash or cheque.

We are also always looking for donations of items your child has outgrown, please drop these in the box labelled ‘PTA uniform’, located on the front porch of the school. We are in dire need of any sports track bottoms at the moment.

As always we thank you for your support and couldn’t run the second hand shop without your generous donations.

As part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations this year, Crackley Hall School are delighted to confirm that we will be taking part in the Queen's Green Canopy initiative which involves planting trees across the United Kingdom and 'pinning' the tree on The Queen's Green Canopy map. Each class, with the help of Mr Robertson from Princethorpe College, will be planting a tree on the school grounds before half term.

The PTA would like to extend the offer to parents so that you may also purchase a family Jubilee tree(s) to plant in celebration of this event. Ordering will be available between 13-19 January in order that the saplings can be delivered in time for the optimum planting period. By purchasing a tree, you will be raising funds for The Woodlands Trust and helping the PTA raise money towards enhancing our sports facilities on the school field. More details regarding this project will be circulated later this term.

Specific trees cannot be chosen but you will be given one of the following native trees, multiple orders are also welcome:

• Crab apple - estimated full grown height 7-9m
• Rowan - estimated full grown height 15-20m
• Field maple - estimated full grown height 8-15m

Each tree will be delivered to school before the end of February with spirals and canes to help you protect your new trees from small mammals. These trees are cell-grown saplings, ranging from approximately 15cm-60cm in height at the purchase time. Each tree will cost £7.50 and added to your next school invoice.

Once your tree is planted, you will be able to pin your tree and also order a commemorative plaque. More details and tips for planting can be found on the website https://queensgreencanopy.org

We hope that you are able to support this initiative.
