Welcome To Our School!
15th July 2020
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we move into the Summer, I am writing to give some clarity for the start of our new school year in September 2020 at Worsley Mesnes Community Primary School.
The guidance documents from the Department of Education have informed our planning along with the safety and welfare of each of our children and our members of staff being paramount in our thoughts. There will still be routines in place to minimise the risk of transmission of the virus in school.
All children will return to school on Wednesday 2nd September 2020 with their new teachers and into their new classrooms and will wear their new school uniforms and black school shoes.
There will be a slight staggering of times at the beginning of the day and the end of the day to allow parents/carers to enter and leave in an organised manner. The classroom door will be opened at the first time, when children can enter and wash their hands, and the door will be closed and teaching and learning begins at the second time. E.g. Reception door opens at 8:50 and is closed to begin teaching at 9:00.

There will also continue to be a one-way system through the playground with entrance from the alley between Clifton Street and Snowden Avenue and exit by the gate by the school field bringing you round to the school carpark.
The school will be organised in Phase bubbles with an Early Years bubble, Key Stage 1 bubble, Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2 bubble. There will be minimal mixing of children and staff within the bubbles but this will allow for the flexibility and organisation of staff for learning.
This will also allow us to reopen our Breakfast Club and After School Champions Childcare.
Dinners will be eaten in classrooms and regularly cleaned apart from the Reception and Nursery children who will eat in the Hall.
Hand washing, surface cleaning and respiratory health will continue to be a priority.
We will minimise visiting adults within the school building so communication will be by appointment.
Please continue to be overly cautious and keep children at home if there is any concern that your child or a member of your household has been exposed to the virus.
If a child is sent home with covid-like symptoms then advice from Public Health England will be sought.
Further details of timings and new routines will be shared during August by email, text and on the school website. The guidance is continually updated and this will also be shared.
Have a good Summer Holiday
Yours sincerely
Mr D Worthington
Headteacher
Worsley Mesnes Community Primary School
24/7 mental health crisis lines now free to call
North West Boroughs Healthcare has upgraded its existing 24/7 mental health crisis lines to Freephone numbers. This means they are now free to call from both landlines and mobile phones.
The new dedicated phone numbers are:
- 0800 051 3253 for people living in Wigan
- 0800 051 1508 for people living in Halton, Knowsley, St Helens and Warrington
The crisis lines provide support 24 hours a day, seven days a week to people of all ages, including children and young people, who need urgent mental health support. You do not need to be known to their services to contact the crisis lines, they are available for patients and public.
Please be assured, anyone who dials the original local numbers will still reach the mental health crisis teams first time, without the need to be diverted. However, calls made to the original numbers will be charged.
For more information about the crisis lines and the range of support available, please visit: https://www.nwbh.nhs.uk/

Important Information Friday 5th June 2020
I’m David Worthington, Headteacher at Worsley Mesnes Community Primary School and I would like to welcome you.
The ethos of our school is our "Worsley Mesnes Way". This interweaves our school values - respect, excellence, inspiration, determination, equality, friendship and courage with high expectations of behaviour at all times within a climate of trust across the whole school community. This is apparent as soon as you enter our school and is the foundation of our school motto
"We Learn Like Champions".
We recognise the importance of the role of our school in the community; in creating a partnership between children, parents, staff and the local residents. This was recognised nationally by the award of the Inclusion Quality Mark in June 2017.
Our website and our prospectus will give you some factual information about our school. We believe that Worsley Mesnes Community Primary School is a special place where learning is memorable and basic skills are weaved through experiences and challenges inside and outside of the classroom.
I hope that you find the site both interesting and informative and that it gives you a true flavour of our school whether you are a child, a parent, a member of staff, a governor or indeed, a visitor.
We – the staff, children and governors – are proud of our school community and all that we achieve! If you have not visited, but would like to come and see us ‘at work’, please do not hesitate to make an appointment;
I would love to show you around our school.
Our vision for Worsley Mesnes Community Primary School
A school where:
- Children understand that our school values of Respect, Friendship, Inspiration, Equality, Courage, Excellence, and Determination combined with our Worsley Mesnes Way are for school and life. They will have ambition and be prepared for the next steps in their journey.
- Everyone will have experiences that enhance their learning so that they achieve more than they thought possible.
- All of our school community matter and are included in a welcoming, happy and safe environment.
- We aim to develop caring, considerate and tolerant children with a sense of pride and personal responsibility.
- We are all committed to developing enquiring and curious minds with a lifetime love of learning with a growth mindset, willingness to tackle any challenge and ownership of their learning.
- Communication is strong and outstanding relationships with parents/carers are developed.
