Just to thank you all (as a Governor) for a wonderful and prayerful service last night.  The children read and behaved exceptionally and a credit to the school.  Thank you to all the staff that came and all the effort of the HSA and school community for preparing for the event- I know these things take a lot of planning!

 

Can I ask you to thank the staff (SLT, teaching, admin and support) for the effort, commitment and continued faith they bring to our school community.  The school wouldn't be what it is without the care and dedication they all bring.

 

I hope you all have a well deserved and rested summer break.

 

Kind Regards

year 6 have finally reached the special day, on which they receive the holy sacrament of confirmation. We have a very special mass in church, for which this year the Arch Bishop will be leading the mass. What better way to prepare for this special night, than with a holy retreat during the day, singing songs, playing games and reflecting on their own purpose and spiritual calling-all led by Dan Callow.

Y6 Confirmation Project; All crosses are proudly displayed in the Y6 stairwell. Fr Bruce will bless all the crosses after Thanksgiving Mass next week! Well done to all the children, Mrs Nixon & Matt Johnson, for all their hard work! 🎨💕🙏

Today we had a very special visitor in school; our very own mascot Little Vinnie Holiday, who is one of our Mini Vinnies! 💕 It is wonderful to see Vinnie looking so healthy at the moment; he will need further heart surgery in the near future, so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers! 🙏😊🙏 He had a great time sharing books & toys with our Mini Vinnies, who presented him with a card and some gifts! Vinnie is almost three years old and his mom Clare, informs us that he is a very happy little chap, who will be starting nursery very soon! 💕

Today we had a visitor from St Mary’s College, Oscott, to talk to us about Vocations. Our question this year has been ‘How will you show witness to your Faith?’ The staff & children have been reflecting on this throughout the year & especially this week, for Vocations! 🙏😊🙏

 

Today, Y6 has visitors from Highway England to talk about their vocation! 🙏😊🙏 They shared a wealth of knowledge & information with all the staff & children about the work they do in order to make our roads safe!

Some of the children from Y5 were invited to a Creative Writing Workshop at the Priory Catholic School today! They spent the whole morning with the children & staff from the Priory, including  an author, who inspired them to keep writing stories; giving them strategies to improve their writing. 

 

The children absolutely loved their whole time at the school and came away totally inspired. Thank you to the staff for the invite; and to the Y10 children, for leading the session! ✍️📚✍️
