We cannot wait to open the gates on Monday morning, to welcome back our school family. All of the staff are excited to see the children, listen to their news and begin their learning journey together. This half term, our virtues are compassion and love. Through discussion and reflection, we will be striving to understand what each of these qualities are and how we can use them to be the very best versions of ourselves. We want to bring the Kingdom of God alive here on earth.
Our new Year 6 will be leading our community in service and love. It will be great to see how they have grown and how they will develop into the beautiful, young people that we endeavor to create. At the opposite end of the school, a new journey begins. We are really excited to be widening our school family and embracing our new Reception children.
On Thursday, most of the school will be attending Mass at 9.30am to celebrate Our Lady’s birthday - why not join us?
The school gates will open at 8.45am for Harcourt and Marsden and 8.50am for Bamber and Plessington. Mrs Hotchkiss and Miss Brisco will be on hand to welcome the children and point them in the right direction as they head to class. Please click here to familiarise yourself with school organisation.
Sharing a love of reading
Following the pandemic, we had to re think how our library would operate. As a result, books went into classes and children could access them from there. This was a positive as children were able to have conversations in their classes. However, our library system has required a complete overhaul which has taken place this summer. It is clear that a number of books are still missing and we would love you to have a little root at home to see if any of them have escaped there.
The children will be able to access school books soon, once the library and scanning system is back up and running. In the meantime, the children are able to bring reading books in from home to read when they have time in class.
All of the teachers will be putting a lovely blog on their class pages to welcome the children. Please visit them to find out any important information and to get a sense of what life will be like in their new classrooms. Don’t forget, Induction Nights are approaching! Why not visit the school calendar below to see what else is happening, including class assemblies.
We look forward to walking hand in hand with you as we continue to grow our school community.
Mrs Hotckiss and Mrs Gregan
