As is traditional now at Harrington, we will be having a cake sale on
FRIDAY 26th SEPTEMBER at 3.30-4:00pm. in our school hall.
Sadly, many people in our school community have been affected by cancer in one way or another and this event helps us all to show our support and enjoy a yummy piece of cake!!
We are asking for families to help support by donating cakes for us to sell to raise funds for this all important charity. Cake pledges need to be made in advance so we can organise the event and then brought to school on the morning of the event (26th September).
These can be shop bought (in their wrappers) or homemade with a full list of ingredients to help guide the sales. STRICTLY NO NUTS PLEASE.
We will send more details and reminders nearer the time but would really appreciate you letting us know if you feel able to donate cakes or biscuits for this important event.
Any offers of help to sell the cakes would also be appreciated. For both pledges and offers of help, please contact Mrs Wilmot or Miss Milne on the dojo.
Thank you in advance from the Harrington Family.
We invite all parents/carers to our first parents evening to ‘Meet the Teacher’ at school to commence our partnership work with you.
This will take place on Wednesday 17th September (6:00p.m for Y3 and Y4; 6:45- 7:30p.m. for Y5 and Y6). The event provides you with a chance to meet the staff, see the classrooms and have an overview of what is to be taught, including news on the curriculum and timetable. We encourage all families to attend.
Please note: this is an adult only appointment. Please do not bring your children as there is no child care available at the event.
Both Derby Road and Canal Street entrances will be open for you - please register your attendance in the school hall prior to moving to the classrooms with the teachers.
Shocking to say that is already time to start thinking about secondary school!
Over the next 2 weeks, the local schools will be opening their doors to invite you and your child to look around before applying for a placement for next year.
The dates are:
The Long Eaton School - Wednesday 17th September 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Friesland School - Thursday 18th September 5:00-7:00 p.m
Wilsthorpe School - Thursday 25th September.
The application needs to be done online by 31st October at https://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/education/schools/school-places/secondary-admissions/parents-guide/how-to-apply/apply-online/apply-online-for-a-secondary-school-place.aspx.
Any applications after this time will be considered late and will not be processed with the others, and may jeopardise your selection chances.
A warm welcome to our new Harrington school year, 2025-26.
It was lovely to have the children back in school, and for some, their first day here at Harrington. And what a great start was made - lots a busy children, settling into the routines and finding their feet in their new classrooms. Well done to you all!
