Headteacher's Newsletter

Friday 27^th March 2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we reach the end of another busy and successful term, I would like to take a moment to thank every member of our wonderful school community. Our children have worked incredibly hard and have made the most of every school day. They continue to show enthusiasm, determination and kindness in all that they do and we are immensely proud of them.

A school thrives because of the community around it. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our parents and carers for your continued support, encouragement and partnership. Your involvement makes such a difference and helps us create the nurturing and positive environment that our children benefit from each day.

This Sunday’s Gospel reminds us of the story of the Passion of our Lord, when Jesus showed the greatest example of love, sacrifice and forgiveness. It is a powerful reminder that even in the most difficult moments there is hope, compassion and the promise of new life. As we move into the Easter period, it invites us to reflect on how we can show kindness, patience and care to those around us.

As the term comes to a close, I hope the break ahead offers everyone the opportunity to rest, recharge and enjoy special time with family and loved ones. The children have certainly earned a well-deserved break.

Thank you once again for being such an important part of our school community. I wish you all a peaceful and joyful holiday and we look forward to welcoming everyone back next term refreshed and ready for the exciting months ahead.

Stations of the Cross

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Mr Chappell for organising such a meaningful whole school Stations of the Cross. This was a powerful opportunity for our children to come together in prayer and reflection during this important time of Lent. The reverence and respect shown by the children was a credit to the thoughtful and prayerful way the experience was prepared.

We are very grateful for the time and care that went into making this such a special part of our Lenten journey.

Own Clothes Day for CAFOD – 27/04/2026

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of our families for their generosity and support today in aid of CAFOD. Together, you have raised an impressive £156, which will go directly towards the vital work CAFOD carries out during Lent, supporting communities in need around the world. Your kindness and willingness to give truly reflect the values we strive to live out as a school community.

Thank you for making a difference.

Happy Bag Collection on Monday 18 May

If you are having a spring clean or sorting through your wardrobes, we are holding a Happy Bag Collection on Monday 18 May.

We welcome donations of unwanted clothing, shoes, sheets, duvets and covers and jewellery. Items can be brought into school at any time from now until the collection date.

The more donations we receive, the more funds the school will raise, helping us to purchase new resources for our children. At the same time, all donated items go on to support people in need across the world. This collection reflects our commitment to Catholic Social Teaching, encouraging us to think of others, act generously and support those less fortunate than ourselves, while also benefiting our own school community.

Thank you, as always, for your continued generosity and support.
