On Friday, we said goodbye to a true legend as Mrs Peck celebrated her final day as head teacher at Holme Slack Community Primary School after an incredible 36 years of dedicated service.
Mrs Peck has been so much more than a teacher and headteacher. She built a school with strong foundations rooted in kindness, empathy, and community. She created a place where every child, family, friend, and member of staff felt welcomed, valued, and supported. Holme Slack has always been more than just a school—it has been a family, and that is thanks to her vision, passion, and unwavering commitment.
Leading with both strength and compassion, Mrs Peck wore her heart on her sleeve and inspired everyone around her. Past and present staff have been privileged to be part of the Holme Slack family under her leadership, and her legacy will continue to shape our school for many years to come.
While we will miss her immensely, we couldn’t be happier as she begins this exciting new chapter. We hope retirement brings an abundance of precious family moments, wonderful holidays, peaceful walks, and all the time she so richly deserves.
Thank you, Mrs Peck, for everything you have given to our school and community. Your impact will never be forgotten.
💙 Wishing you every happiness in your retirement. Good luck, Mrs Peck—you will always be part of the Holme Slack family. 💙

Welcome to our page! This is a place to share news, information and achievements of our school!
On Thursday, we began the countdown to Mrs Peck’s retirement with a beautiful outdoor picnic lunch, celebrating an incredible 36 years of dedication to Holme Slack.
It was a truly heartfelt afternoon. Former and current staff came together to reminisce, share stories, laugh, and shed a few tears as we celebrated someone who has touched the lives of so many. Our governors also joined us to express their gratitude and appreciation for Mrs Peck’s unwavering commitment and the many years they have worked alongside her.
The afternoon perfectly captured the spirit of Holme Slack – a school built on kindness, community, and people who always come together to support and celebrate one another.
Mrs Peck’s impact on our school family is immeasurable. While we know the coming days will be filled with mixed emotions, we are so grateful for the memories we’ve shared and the legacy she leaves behind. Thursday was a fitting reminder that Holme Slack is so much more than a school – it’s a family.

🌟 What an amazing morning! 🌟
The Y6 children were absolutely fantastic on Tuesday morning's production. 🎭 They excelled from start to finish, and we couldn't be prouder of their hard work, confidence, and enthusiasm. ⭐ A huge well done to everyone involved—it was a real team effort, and it truly showed. 👏 Thank you to all the staff for their support in making it such a success. 💙
🎉 Now onto our next event! 🎉
Today was the Year 6 leavers' school trip. 🚌 They visited PlayFactore during the school day. All food and drinks was provided, so there was no need for children to bring a packed lunch or spending money. 🍕🥤
The day was a fun-filled day celebrating the end of a fantastic year together! 😄🎈
Well done team Y6 🥰

Friday was a hot and humid day, so what did we do at Holme Slack ? We came together like we always do 🥰
What a day of pure joy! 💦 Thank you so much for the incredible donations — paddling pools, water guns, soakers, ice cube makers, and outdoor games have turned our classroom into the ultimate summer fun zone! The children have been absolutely overcome with excitement, and honestly, we've had just as much fun watching them play. 🎉 A special note: no teachers were harmed in the making of this video! 😄 Your generosity has made this day one to remember. 🌟

Handwriting Competition – Theme: Moving On…
Handwriting is a priority at our school, and the children have been working hard to develop and improve their own individual style.
We would love to celebrate the amazing efforts of each and every child at Holme Slack Community Primary School by holding a Handwriting Competition using the theme "Moving On...".
The poems have already been chosen for you, so all you need to do is carefully copy your poem onto the template paper using your very best handwriting. Take your time, focus on neat letter formation, consistent sizing and spacing, and present your work as beautifully as you can.
We can't wait to see your wonderful entries and celebrate all of your hard work. Good luck, everyone!
💛 A little glimpse into Reception life at Holme Slack! 💛
Starting school is such a special milestone, and we can’t wait to welcome our new Reception children and families this September!
Our current Reception class wanted to share a little snapshot of what life is really like. From exciting Adventure Days and Wellbeing Days to outdoor learning, creativity, independence and making lifelong friendships, every day is filled with smiles, curiosity and memorable experiences.
Most importantly, we create a nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe and confident to learn. We believe that when children are emotionally secure, they flourish in every aspect of school life.
We hope you enjoy this special message from our wonderful Reception children… and we can’t wait for our new little learners to begin their own Holme Slack adventure! 🌟💛

🌟 Exciting News – Our New Nursery Provision! 🌟
Do you have a child who is 3 years old, or do you know someone who does?
Did you know that all 3 and 4-year-olds are entitled to at least 15 hours of funded childcare each week? Many working families may also be eligible for additional funded hours.
From September, we are excited to begin the next chapter of our nursery provision. Our new nursery will be led by Mrs Molyneux, our Reception Class Teacher and one of Lancashire's Leading EYFS Teachers, alongside our newly appointed Nursery Manager, Mrs Robinson, who many of you will know from Year 2.
Mrs Robinson will be working closely with our current Nursery Manager, Miss Marquis, over the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition for all of our children and families.
We are incredibly excited to continue building on the wonderful foundations already in place in our 'Holme from Home' Pre-school and to further develop our nursery provision, providing the very best start to every child's learning journey. Our EYFS provision is regularly featured in the Lancashire Early Years Group for Early Years Practitioners and schools from across the region come and observe our practice and provision.
If you, or someone you know, has a child who is 3 years old and is looking for a nurturing, inspiring nursery, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact the school office to arrange a visit and find out more (email : [email protected] or telephone : 01772 795257)
Please feel free to like and share this post with friends and family who may be interested.
