Look what landed on my desk this morning! This means that we are in the top1 percent of Primary Schools in the country! Congratulations to all the governors, staff, parents & especially our children, for all their hard work! 💕 #loveOLSK

Say hello to our School Councillors who are working really hard with Mrs F to improve the school. Our new Councillors from YR , Y1 & Y2 are very keen to join us in our decision making! 🙏😊🙏

Huge thanks to Rachael Doyle for providing us with our Bereavement Box; this will support us as a school, when dealing with a family who has suffered a bereavement! 🙏😊🙏

 

Rachael posted the following message to us: 

Today I delivered a bereavement box to @OLSK_ to support teachers to support bereaved children. The vibe in the school was happy and uplifting - a real sanctuary to support grieving children when they need it the most 🙏🏻😊🙏

 

 

A huge well done to our Charlie’s Angels who held their raffle and raised £30.70 towards school fund. They are already deciding what to spend the money on for school! 😁

A big thank you for the kind donation of six guitars from one of our wonderful parents. We are extremely grateful and the children are so excited to play them! 🎸🎼🎧

On Tuesday last week, we said a fond farewell to Fr Bruce in school; celebrating 22 years of service to our school & parish, with a whole school Mass & staff, parents, children & governors, presented him with many cards & gifts. We sang many of Fr’s favourite hymns during the Mass and prayed for a very happy & truly well deserved, restful retirement. 

Then this morning the parishioners organised a lovely Mass in church for Fr Bruce retirement! It was wonderful to see so many past & present staff, governors, pupils & their families in church. Parishioners made their presentation to him before he gave us all his final blessings! 💕

 

Please keep Fr Bruce in your prayers as he begins the next chapter in his spiritual journey. 

Today we received a very generous gift from Ingestre Hall... a baby grand piano! We are extremely grateful and can’t wait to start using it with the children in choir practice, band, mass, musical theatre and all our other celebrations! 🎵🎶🎹

Today, all of the staff spent the INSET day at Mary Stevens Hospice. We learnt about Mental Health and Well-being, focusing on keeping ourselves mentally healthy. Then we had a tour of the hospice to see where the money from our fundraising initiatives went and how it was spent. It was very humbling to see what an amazing, calm and positive place the hospice is, full of lots of positive energy and smiles. We all went away thinking about the year ahead and how we can support the hospice further as a school community.
