Message from Mrs Laskey
Today we celebrated our Harvest Mass as a whole school. It was a lovely Mass where the children showed great reverence throughout. The readers read clearly and the altar servers showed great service. Many parishioners spoke of it being a wonderful Mass with beautiful singing. Well done to all.
Thank you to all those who donated items for the Kidderminster Foodbank, this truly displays the virtues of being generous and grateful.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Laskey

Term Dates
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.
