04/04/2020 – School is open over the Easter holiday period for children of key workers including Bank Holiday Friday and Monday. If you need to make contact with the school, please use following email address: bursar@haslingden-pri.lancs.sch.uk
01/04/2020 – Please regularly check the school’s Facebook and Twitter pages for information. If you require assistance with home learning, please email homelearning@haslingden-pri.lancs.sch.uk and one of our teachers will be able to help you.
21/03/2020 – Plans are now in place for the care of the children of key workers who require it. Please remember that if you can keep your child at home and ‘socially distance’ them from people outside of your household, it is the safest thing to do. Advice can be found here on how to keep your family as safe as possible. The fewer children and members of staff in school as possible reduces the risk of any virus spreading through our community. We want to keep everyone as safe as possible.
Guidance on social distancing for everyone in the UK, including children, and protecting older people and vulnerable people.
