Message from Mrs Brocklesby

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you for your support with today's Studio 77 visit. The children were superb—confident, enthusiastic, and a credit to our school. They looked incredibly smart and represented us all with pride.
 
The Year 6 Leavers' Production, The Greatest Show, was a truly spectacular performance that captured the hearts of everyone in the audience. From the very first moment, it was clear that a huge amount of dedication, teamwork, and hard work had gone into every aspect of the show.
 
The children delivered their lines with confidence, energy, and real passion. Each child brought their character to life with enthusiasm, and the musical numbers were performed with such joy that it was impossible not to smile along. 
 
The scenery and costumes were equally impressive—vibrant, creative, and perfectly suited to the circus theme. Every detail had clearly been thoughtfully planned and expertly executed, adding to the overall magic of the production.
 
Behind the scenes, the support and guidance from staff were evident. A sincere thank you to Mrs Shevas, Mrs Joyner and Mr Edwards who gave their time and energy to make this production a resounding success.
 
The Greatest Show truly lived up to its name. It was a fitting celebration of the pupils' time at school and a wonderful send-off for Year 6. The show really did go on...even with the heat. Bravo to all involved!

It was an unforgettable performance — well done, Year 6!

 

Thank You for a Fantastic Summer Fete!

A huge thank you to Mrs Wallace and the PTA for organising a fantastic Summer Fete straight after school today!

Every class was running a stall, and we even have an ice cream van on site — it shaped up to be a wonderful afternoon of fun and community spirit.

Thank you all for coming along to support your child and our school.

School Reports – Coming Home Monday

On Monday, your child will bring home their end-of-year school report. Please take some time to read through it with them and celebrate their achievements and progress this year.

Have a lovely weekend!

The Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.

Amen

Bikeability (optional) 14th-15th of July

Further information on the above key dates and events can be found on the letter that was sent out earlier this week.

Please see below for summer holiday clubs. Remember to come back and check each week as new clubs will be added.

Attendance

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. 

The Attendance Policy 2024-2025 states that:
Parents are asked to inform the school before 8.50a.m. on their child's first day of absence. This can be done via telephone (01562 823568) or email (enquiry_amb@emmausmac.com).  Parents are asked to keep the school informed of the child's continued absence if it does not constitute the 48 hours rule for the sickness bug. 
 

We will continue sending out regular communications 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.

8.50a.m. Gates close and registration in class

Mass Times at St Ambrose Catholic Church

The UCM (United Catholic Mothers) meet every other Monday evening at 7pm in term time and would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone who would like to become a member. They play a pivotal role fundraising activities for the Church and also devote their time to helping out at school functions such as school fete, holy communion etc. You wouldn't necessarily have to come to all the meetings but any availability to help out at functions would be very much appreciated.
