Our Catholic Mission: 'We do our best by following Jesus.'

Friday 10th November 2023

Year 3 enjoyed learning all about the history of Remembrance Day this morning - we made some beautiful artwork!

"Red poppies symbolise all the soldiers who died in the Great War" (William)

"Purple poppies represent all the animals who died in the Great War" (Nikodem)

"Black poppies symbolise all the black soldiers who died in the Great War" (Cody)

"White poppies are a promise that we will try to live in peace" (Isla)

Regular attendance at school means that your child will make the most of their education and improve their chances later on in life. At St Ambrose, good attendance is of high importance and we strive to have at least 96% attendance. Please help us with this target. If you need any support, then school is here to help so that your child can get the very best out of the education we provide. 

We will continue sending out regular push notifications about attendance so that you are aware if you child falls below our 96% target and we are working with Louise Howles, our Education Welfare Officer to support us with improvements.

The Parish Christmas Bazaar will take place after 11am Mass on Sunday 3rd of December. All children and families are warmly invited to attend to help support the Parish. Not only will there be stalls and refreshments, Father Christmas will also be paying a visit too!! Please see the flyer below for more information. 

We are kindly asking for the following donations:

17th November - Chocolates

24th November - Bottles

1st December - Cakes and/or Mince Pies

Each class has been given a knitted toy that the teachers will raffle off to their class, to parents or their family members. Each ticket will cost £1 and all donations will go to the Parish towards their Christmas Bazaar total. More information will be given next week.

The things achieved by the children outside of school are incredible.

This week I have been told that Alwen was the Kidderminster Harriers mascot and even ended up on BBC three report!!

Isla P attended a Dance competition in Nottingham at the weekend and won a trophy, she took part in Street, Rock and Roll pairs, fast pairs, slow pairs, fast solo and slow solo.

Isla said - ‘I really enjoyed taking part’
