Hello Readers,
Primary Times is independently published and distributed free through national primary schools in Birmingham & Black
Country. 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 Birmingham & Black Country 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 2 million copies per issue
under franchise licences throughout Britain.
Welcome to our first edition for 2020!
We love this time of year at Primary Times, with Spring just
around the corner and lots of great activities to look forward to as
the year progresses. Already we are getting news about holiday
activities, some of which begin in the February half term and you
can see in our WOW and pinboard.
As regular readers will know, we always include information from
our local theatres and a selection of activities around the county
in our WOW pages, which you can enjoy as a family. There
are so many to choose from, it’s not possible to include them
all in our magazine but you can see more on our website www.
primarytimes.co.uk While you’re looking, why not enter some of
our fabulous competitions too?
We’re supporting the Brain Tumour Research charity again this
year, which is very popular with schools and especially with
families who have been affected by this terrible disease. So
please do join in the ‘Wear A Hat Day’ on the Friday 27th March if
you can – we’ll all be wearing ours!
We’ll be back with our Easter edition on 23rd March well before
the Easter holiday, so you can plan your activities for the longer
days and warmer weather.
