I hope this helps you when you need to contact staff with concerns. Great Preston CE Primary School has an open door policy and we would rather you came to talk to us about issues. We don't want parents to worry or children to be anxious so don't let issues build up do come and see us.

Thank you

African Drumming & Inspire Workshop

I left the office door open on Thursday so that I could listen to the wonderful drumming in the hall. The Y1 & Y2 children have very good sense of rhythm and their teacher for the day was very impressed. The performance for parents at the end of the day was very well attended and I'm sure you will have had a little dance whilst listening to your children!


Miss McVeigh's Y5 Inspire Workshop was also very well attended by parents who learned alongside their children for the afternoon. The Topic is based around Inventions and famous inventors with the children undertaking their own research projects in child initiated areas of interest.


Thank you to all our families for your support.

Leeds Town Hall Choir

What an amazing evening we had last night at the Leeds Town Hall, Our school choir along with 47 other schools sounded fantastic. Thank you to all the parents who came to support the children I am sure you were very proud of them (we were).
A huge thank you to Mrs Fox who has trained the singers over the past few weeks. They have learnt so much in such a short amount of time. Also thank you to Miss McVeigh who has also supported the choir and given up her time as Mrs Fox has to ensure the children could attend the rehearsals and dress rehearsal.
