We had a wonderful time as a school family celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III with a picnic on the playground! Huge thanks to all of the families who were able to join us and thank goodness the sun shone on us!

We were honoured with a visit from Richard Boot OBE Deputy Lieutenant of WM to plant a commemorative rose in our Mary Garden. It was a variety called ‘Mountbatten’ which we thought the King would approve of. 👑❤️

Each month, Ten:ten - who we use to support our collective worship in school, create a parent newsletter. By exploring the information in the newsletter, you will be able to discuss with your children the themes encountered each day in school.

As May begins, we are in the full flow of Eastertide celebrations and the blossoming of Springtime flowers echoes the hope and joy of the Resurrection of Jesus. We look forward in hope and anticipation for the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, marking the birthday of the Church and a renewal of our mission as followers of Jesus.

Today, I had honour of being invited to the launch of the Tabor Living Project, at St Catherine of Siena, Birmingham. This project supports people on their journey from homelessness, to independent living.  It was wonderful to be a part of it. All the people who have made this happen and continue to support these people, are truly inspirational. 
“ Tabor House helps rebuild people when they have fallen down!” 
 

With this quote in mind, let us all play our part to help lift others who have fallen, back up and onto their feet. Let us continue Gods work by helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves. 🙏🙏

The government is launching a service called Emergency Alerts service in the UK, which will warn individuals if there is a danger to life nearby. In an emergency situation, they will receive an alert on their mobile phone or tablet with advice about staying safe. The government does not need your mobile phone number or location to send you an alert.

The government will send alerts only if severe flooding, fires and extreme weather occur. The agencies responsible for sending these alerts are the emergency services, government departments, agencies and public bodies that deal with emergencies. 

The government is planning a national test on 23 April 2023.

When an individual receives an alert, the phone will make a loud siren-like sound, even if it’s set on silent, vibrate or read out the alert. This will last for around 10 seconds.

Domestic abuse charities in the UK have expressed concerns around the alerts, and advise survivors to turn them off on any secret phones. The charity Refuge has created a guide to show people how to turn off emergency alerts.
