Reedley Primary SchoolNews and Events
On Friday 4th October we are raising money for the MacMillan Cancer Charity.
We would welcome any donations of cakes or biscuits that we can sell. These can be brought into school on Thursday 3rd October or in the morning of Friday 4th October.
Families are welcome to join us in school and your child can join you during the following slots.
9.00am – 9.20am Reception and Year 1
9.20am – 9.40am Year 2 and Year 3
9.40am – 10.00am Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6
If you have children in different year groups, you will have to attend during the different sessions.
Only children who have a parent/carer attending the coffee morning will be able to attend.
If there are biscuits/cakes left at the end of the day, we will sell these after school.
CLITHEROE CASTLE
The castle is known to have acted as a jail, and important men were occasionally imprisoned there. King Henry VI may have been held briefly as he was captured outside Clitheroe in 1464, during the Wars of the Roses. In 1506 the porter was imprisoned in his own jail after attending a meeting of armed men at Whalley.
