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

Friday 18th July 2025

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

Dear God,
Thank You for this school year –
for the friends we’ve made,
the things we’ve learned,
and the fun we’ve had.

As summer begins,
keep us safe in our adventures,
kind in our hearts,
and thankful for each sunny day.

Help us rest, play, and grow,
and bring us back together in September,
ready to learn, share, and shine once more.

Amen.

Dear Parents and Carers

As we celebrate another successful school year, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our children, families, and staff for their incredible dedication, resilience, and support. Together, we have achieved so much and it's all thanks to the strength of our school community.

We are thrilled to share that our school has been awarded the LiveSimply Award by CAFOD in recognition of our commitment to living simply, sustainably, and in solidarity with those in need. This award reflects the collective efforts of our whole school community, who have worked together to make a positive difference both locally and globally. What a meaningful way to end the year! Thank you to Miss Crumpler, our LiveSimply Lead and the Live Simply Ambassadors for your hard work.

Today, as well as saying goodbye to our Year Six children we are also saying farewell to a valued member of staff. She had a wonderful send off this morning where both the children and staff shared memories and sang ‘You’ve got a friend in me’. We wish her all the best of luck in her future adventures. 

In our final assembly this morning we congratulated nine children who have achieved 100% attendance for this academic year.  Well done to Austin, Leo, Joshua B, Jonas, Amelia H, William, Ugoeze, Carmen and Alwen.

The St Ambrose Pupil of the Year Awards were given to Giavanna, Karson, Elwood, Paddy, Ayron, Ciara, Joseph, Robyn and Samuel.  Congratulations to you all and these were given in recognition for your true discipleship and following our school mission ‘We do our best by following Jesus’.  

On behalf of all the staff thank you for all your lovely gifts, messages, and kind words of support.  

We wish you all a lovely summer break and I look forward to seeing those of you who are returning, back in school on Wednesday 3^rd September for more learning, growth, and new adventures!

Thank you to everyone for supporting the school raffle. The winners were drawn in assembly this morning. Many congratulations!!

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

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.
