Newsletter - 20th Feb 2023

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am delighted to share with you once again so many highlights from last term. Be sure to click on the buttons to view the highlights from each phase as well as whole school & sporting events.

Our 2 Catholic Secondary Schools also had Ofsted recently, and both also were re-graded as Outstanding. We are very proud to be able to work so closely with these schools and knowing that most of our pupils go on to attend these schools, it is great to know that they are still Outstanding and provide the very best care and education for our children. You can read the reports here -

St Angela's

St Bonaventure's

As we enter the second half of the Spring Term, we are also entering the season of Lent. In the first of our Lent assembly series, we look towards Jesus, our hope, and invite Him to be at the centre of our lives and our Lenten journey. Through a game about spring cleaning, children will learn that now is the time for a fresh start in our relationship with God. The children will be thinking about spring cleaning their lives and hearts in order to get closure to God at Easter.

Important Reminders

Hygiene advice - this is the time of year where there maybe headlice. Please take time to check yout child's hair from time to time and seek advice from your Pharmacy. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/head-lice-and-nits/
Online Safety - it is essential that you monitor your child's use of the internet including apps on their phones. There are times when children are on platforms such as Snapchat, WhatsApp and others, when children can be exposed to inappropriate language and behaviour. You should ensure that your child knows who they are talking to/communicating with. Our advice would to not use apps that are not age appropriate.

Smart Watches are not permitted in school. Some watches have the facility to take photos and videos. We are unable to check all watches, but we need to ensure that all pupils and staff are kept safe. The easiest way to ensure the safety of all, is to not allow any smart watches in school so that inappropriate recording can't take place.
The school day starts at 8:50am. Please arrive in plenty of time so that your child is not late. Gate and classrooms are open from 8:30am.
Please do not park on the zig-zag lines at the zebra crossings, or on the double yellow lines around the entrances to the school. These parking restrictions are in place to keep everyone safe. Please also be mindful or parking on the curbs/pavements. The pavement is very narrow and these need to be kept clear for those who are walking.
