Dear Reader
Welcome to our May Half Term issue.
With the weather hotting up and May half term looming
we are delighted to offer you lots of wonderful activities
and events to keep your children busy over the coming
weeks and during the holiday week. Many of our WOW
listings are either free or very low cost.
Now is a great time to start planning for the long summer
holidays – for working parents the summer holidays need
to be meticulously planned. Stagecoach, one of our regular
supporters of Primary Times, are offering a fantastic action
packed week – read more about what they have to offer on
page 5.
Regular features in this issue also include Box Office – if
you haven’t seen a Horrible Histories production yet, they
come highly recommended by all ages. Competitions
in this issue include a family ticket to Chiltern Open Air
Museum, a £600 family ticket to Vitality SportFest 2016,
a family ticket to the Henley Festival and to see Horrible
Histories.
We hope you enjoy this issue and if you have any news to
celebrate, children to praise or school events to include in
our Summer issue, please email
marion@schoolspublishing.co.uk by 10th June.
Best wishes
Marion, Sue, Carol & Charlotte

...the UK’s biggest,
free ‘what’s on’
magazine for parents!
Primary Times in
Buckinghamshire distributes
more than 42,000 copies
seven times a year, and is
part of a national network
distributing more than 2.7
million copies in 61 regions
across the UK and Ireland.
Primary Times is independently published and distributed free through national primary schools in Buckinghamshire.
It aims to inform families and children about current educational issues, forthcoming events, courses, attractions and to
give teachers, pupils and parents the opportunity to participate in the magazine by adding to its contents or by joining
in the competitions. It is NOT our intention to publish any racist, sexist or politically based material whatsoever. We also
undertake not to carry any advertising which we would consider to be offensive to young families or harmful to the best
interests of young children. Primary Times would like to thank all the schools in Buckinghamshire for their assistance in
distributing the magazine and for their contributions to its contents. We would also like to thank all the advertisers who
have supported this publication and therefore made it possible. Please support their endeavours when and where you
can. The copyright on all written material, logos and advertising artwork produced by our studio remains with Primary
Times or with the relevant contributor. Primary Times is currently publishing over two million copies per issue under
franchise licences throughout Britain.
