Family wellbeing
I would just like to share with all you wonderful parents/guardians how your amazing support with our Family Learning Sessions has allowed me to become an Ambassador for Cherry Fold Family Learning Sessions. I work in partnership with Lancashire Adult Learning and tell them how enjoyable all our sessions are and how much they are supported by you. Please do not hesitate to pop in and see me in school. THANKYOU to you all. Miss Heys.
As part of my role I am able to refer families for food vouchers and sometimes gas & electric credits. I have many links with Burnley Together for food parcels and also the Community Grocery Shop. I can offer mental health support, and any kind of referrals you feel may be beneficial for your child/children.
However, there are criteria that must be met, if you feel any of this would be beneficial to you and your family, and would like to discuss anything confidentially, please email parents@cherryfold.lancs.sch.uk
Our Macmillan Coffee Morning was held on Friday 26th September 2025. It was a fantastic event and a huge success. It was amazing to see so many parents, carers, family members and children. A big THANKYOU
We raised £403.22 for cancer
Hi Cherry Fold Community Primary School,
Thank you for hosting a Macmillan Coffee Morning and helping people living with cancer.
We've just received your £403.22 payment - thank you so much.
Your kindness makes a huge difference. It could mean some with cancer can get help with how they're feeling on our Support Line. Pay their bills during treatment. Or turn to a Macmillan nurse for vital medical, practical and emotional support.
Please rest assured that your donation has been safely received and we're very grateful.
