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

On your child's PE day they should be wearing the correct uniform as shown above. Shorts should be of a reasonable length preferably to the knee.

We would like to say a huge well done to all the pupils for looking so smart on their return to school.

Can we please remind you that only stud earrings should be worn to school and no earrings on PE days.

If your child has bright trainers for PE can they please come to school in theor school shoes and bring the trainers to change into.

Hair bobbles and scrunchies should be plain and in line with school colours - gey, burgundy, black. No fashion hair accessories should worn to school.

Thank you as always for our continued support.

Dear Parents and Carers

We have had a wonderful first full week back at school, and it has been a pleasure to see the children return with such enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. Their positive attitude and readiness to engage with their new learning opportunities have set a strong foundation for the year ahead. It is clear that they are already beginning to build good routines, and we are confident that this will support their progress throughout the term.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the parents and carers who were able to attend the Meet and Greet sessions.

Attendance remains a vital part of ensuring every child achieves their full potential. We kindly remind parents and carers of the importance of regular and punctual attendance. A letter will shortly be sent home explaining the school’s attendance expectations and outlining the process relating to penalty notices, so that everyone is fully aware of their responsibilities. We would also like to congratulate Year 6 for achieving 100% attendance since our return. This is an excellent start to the year and a fantastic example for the rest of the school.

Looking ahead, we are very much looking forward to welcoming you to the upcoming curriculum workshops. During these sessions, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the subjects, skills, and knowledge your child will be covering this year. We hope you will find the workshops both informative and helpful, and we encourage all parents to attend if possible.

Together, we can make this an exciting and successful school year for all.

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Laskey

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 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.
