It is very important to ensure we keep our children safe online.

 

Thank-you

A huge thank you to McKenzie and his parents for their beautiful end of year gift for our school. What a wonderful surprise when we opened the huge box, delivered to school this week- a truly lovely carved wall hanging of The Last Supper! The gift takes pride of display in the Mary Chapel in school.  

 

The gift was shared with all the children in assembly this week- who were astonished at how beautiful it really is! 

 

When Fr Bruce and Bishop David McGough visited school to see all the children in Y6 who were to be Confirmed, they thought it was wonderful too. 

 

A big 'thank you' to McKenzie's family for their kind generosity and their never ending support for our school. 

What a beautiful celebration for Confirmation tonight in Church. Bishop David McGough was the lead celebrant with Fr Bruce. All of the children acted so reverently in Church and were complimented by Bishop David on their grace during the service. We thank all the staff; Miss Marshall and Mrs Morris, who prepared the children so well in school and we thank the parents for the gift of their children! May the gift of the Holy Spirit continue to support the children as they continue their Spiritual Journey! 

Our very own super scientist has represented our school at the Physicist of the Year award ceremony at Birmingham university. Well done Gracie, we are really proud of all your achievements. Follow the link to watch the video.

Y6 Leavers Mass of Thanksgiving is on Tuesday 18th July, not 11th July, as stated in our recent Newsletter- sorry for any confusion, love from Mrs F. 

What an amazing time all the children are having this week away from school. It is wonderful to see all them all enjoying the fresh air, playing games, staying out till 9pm, having fun on the swings; and that's just the staff!

 

By the end of the week the children will have conquered their fears of the high ropes, the zip wire, rock climbing, abseiling, paddle boarding and canoeing! Wow! They will be exhausted when they get home, let alone with a suitcase full of dirty washing for their mums! 

Y3 were the first to use the new Prayer Area in the playground, for their reflective prayer service today! All children & staff absolutely love this new space and it will be wonderful for the children to use throughout the day! 

Y6 Liturgy Leaders meet our Archbishop at the Cathedral and present our cheque for Fr Hudsons, at the Good Shepherd Mass.

 

Siobhan, Issy, Evie & Megan were great ambassadors for our school today! They formed part of the Offertory Procession during the Mass and presented the money we raised during Lent, to Archbishop Bernard Longley! 

 

It was a truly beautiful mass and we even managed to get a photo with the Archbishop outside. 

Miracle baby saved by surgeons who fitted him with a 'hand-made heart' is our own little ‘Mini Vinnie’.

Vinnie Holliday born with half a heart and had a life-saving operation at Birmingham Children's Hospital

He was diagnosed with Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) while still in the womb and needed open-heart surgery just 24 hours after being delivered.

Surgeons at Birmingham Children’s Hospital ‘rewired’ his heart to construct a new aorta - to allow the right side of his heart to pump blood round the body.

Vinnie is now 7 months old and his parents have agreed for him to be our own little mascot. Our first fundraiser is going to be for the Birmingham children’s Hospital to enable them to continue their amazing work and look after Vinnie, and others like him, as he grows up.

On his visit to school, the Presidents, Izzy and Sophie, from Y5, presented him with his Mini Vinnie badge, certificate, pledge card and prayer card.
