We will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 7 March. Children and staff will be dressing up as their favourite character from a book. There will be lots of fun activities on the day and the children will all receive a book voucher to redeem at a bookshop. Please put the date in your diaries.

Saturday 9 March - 10.30am to 12.30pm

We are holding a Nursery and whole school Open Morning on Saturday 9 March. Come and find out why Crackley Hall School has been judged 'Excellent' in all areas by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. It's a great opportunity for prospective families considering Crackley Hall School or Little Crackers Nursery to come and have a look around and get a feel for the Nursery and school. There will be opportunities for visitors to speak to pupils, key members of staff and to meet Mr Duigan, Headmaster.

To find out more and to book your visit to Crackley Hall and Little Crackers Nursery visit our website here.

Little Crackers Nursery are now accepting registrations for September 2024 onwards. If your child is turning two, get in touch and come and take a look around our Nursery or come along to our friendly Stay 'n' Play Toddler Group on Wednesday mornings in term time.

Please do share this information with family and friends. 

On Saturday 9 March, some of the Crackley Hall school councillors will be helping at the St Francis of Assisi Parish Centre Charity Spring Fayre to raise money for Save the Children. Please click here for more information.

On the morning of Tuesday 12 March, all children in school will be taking part in our annual Skipathon. 

The children are invited to hop, jump or skip for charity, and this year we will be raising money for the Air Ambulance. The children will be bringing home their sponsorship forms on Friday 23 February - see here for a copy, and we ask that these are returned, with any raised money, on the day of the Skipathon, up until Friday 15 March.

During the time of Lent we reflect on God’s great love for us and look for ways to share that love with others. We ask that pupils in Junior 3 and 4 donate items for our local foodbank.  Please can pupils bring in any of the items on the below list by Friday 22 March.
