Dear Parents and Carers,
Faith Newsletters
From now on, we will be sharing a monthly faith newsletter that celebrates the Catholic ethos of the school. As we move through Lent towards the end of a very challenging but incredibly successful term, our eyes are fixed on the message of hope that Easter brings. Click on the link below.
INSET Days
As well as the previously announced INSET date of Monday 19th April. The school will also be closed for staff training on Friday 14th May and Monday 14th June.
Lent and Easter
During Lent children have been learning about the Easter story and children we have had weekly Stations of the Cross reflections in Key Stage 2. We are planning an online Easter celebration, involving Fr. Michael and children in all classes, which will take place on Thursday 1st May (Maundy Thursday) and will be posted online afterwards.
PE kits
From Monday 22nd March please can children come into school in their PE kit on the day they have PE. At the moment we do not have space to store PE kit in a COVID safe way and therefore this is the safest way for our children to be appropriately dressed for their PE lessons and remain safe. PE kit is a plain and non-branded white t-shirt, non-branded black/navy shorts and black daps or black trainers. If the weather is cold, children can wear navy/black tracksuit bottoms over their shorts to keep them warm. Please see class PE days below.
- Monday- Reception and Year 6
- Tuesday- Year 1 and Year 5
- Wednesday- Year 4
- Thursday- Hub, Year 2 and Year 3
Attendance
Well done to the following classes who had attendance at over 97% this week:
