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

Friday 13th March 2026

On Sunday, we pause to celebrate the incredible love, guidance, and kindness that mothers and mother figures bring into our lives. Whether through gentle words, unwavering support, or quiet acts of care, their presence shapes our hearts and communities in countless ways.

We give special thanks to all who nurture and inspire us every day. In a special way, we also honor Mary, our Mother, whose example of love and compassion continues to guide us. 

Thank you to all the mothers and mother figures who make the world brighter with their grace and generosity.

Educational visits are a very important part of school life. They help to bring the curriculum to life by giving children real-world experiences that support what they learn in the classroom.

Trips allow pupils to explore new places, develop curiosity and deepen their understanding through hands-on learning. They also help to build confidence, independence and teamwork, while creating memorable experiences that inspire a lifelong love of learning. This week year 3 and reception have both been on exciting trips.

Year 3 have today been on a fantastic trip exploring the beautiful Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. The children had a fantastic time making their very own cast fossils, exploring the museum and learning lots about the local history. 

The children were exceptionally well behaved and asked questions to drive the learning forward. They loved finding out about the types of fossils that have been found all around the Shropshire Hills and learning all about the Hill Forts. Staff were very proud of how well they represented the school. 

Reception yesterday went to a local music festival where they experienced live music and interactive performances. The children loved singing along, clapping to the rhythm and exploring a range of musical instruments.

We would like to thank all of our staff who helped make these visits possible. Educational trips require a great deal of planning and support, and we are very grateful to everyone who contributed their time and effort.

Experiences like these create lasting memories for our pupils and play an important role in enriching their learning beyond the classroom. Thank you for your continued support.
