A huge thank you to everyone who supported our strawberry tea and helped to turn Sir Tom Finney Community High School Pink! We have raised a fantastic £805.65p We will be donating this to Breast Cancer Now to help provide the much-needed support for those affected by cancer.

Happy Diwali! This week our sign of the week is Diwali - There is no official sign for this Festival so we are signing 'light party'!

Yesterday afternoon, SFX Group 7 had a very special visit from Gwyn, who runs Positive Eye. She did a live version of 'The Marvin Show'. Each student loved the experience.

Each week, we are focusing on a different sign in school. This week's sign of the week is 'help'

We hope everyone has had a wonderful and restful holiday! We're excited to welcome all our students back to school on Wednesday, 3rd September!

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to send messages, drop in, for the thoughtful very generous gifts and the very kind words in all the lovely cards celebrating our retirement. It really means a lot. 17 years of STFCH so many memories, it's been quite a journey. Thank you to every single young person, their families, colleagues, Governors and professionals for all your support, we're incredibly proud of having been part of an amazing school.

Due to a major crash the M6 has been closed at Leyland. Schools transport has made the decision they would like to start collecting students as soon as possible from 1:30pm onwards. If any parents want to collect their child rather than using the taxis and minibuses, please make your way to school ASAP. Any questions, please contact the school office on 01772 795749

Thank You for a Great Year! As we wrap up the 2024–2025 school year, we want to say a big thank you to our students, families, and staff for an amazing year of learning, growth, and community. Our last day of term is Friday, 18 July 2025. Students return back to school on Wednesday, 3 September. We wish everyone a safe, happy, and restful summer break! See you in the new school year!
