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

Friday 21st November 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

Year 6 have been invited to attend the Parish Mass on Sunday at 11am to Celebrate the feast of Christ is King.

The invitation also extends to all of our families.

Our Catholic School Mission

You may have noticed this beautiful sentence appearing in our communications:

“Forming Christ-centred pilgrims of hope with kind hearts, questioning minds, a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for justice.”

This is the shared mission for all our Catholic schools, and over the coming weeks and months we will be using this mission to guide our learning, our relationships, and the way we grow together as a community. It reminds us of the kind of people we aim to help our children become curious, compassionate, hopeful, and committed to making the world a fairer place.

We look forward to sharing with you how this mission comes to life in our classrooms and throughout our school in our newsletter every week.

KIND HEARTS

We have targeted a few families to help with distributing leaflets in the local area to promote our upcoming open days.

If any other parents/families would be happy to help, please could you come to the school office to collect some leaflets.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

HUNGER FOR JUSTICE

Can we please remind that you should not be parking in the car park at drop off and pick up times unless you have requested and been given a parking pass. Please can you pass this onto any other family members or friends who may also drop off or collect your child.

As you can appreciate, drop off and pick up times are always busy and so to ensure our children's safety we kindly request that you find parking outside of the car park.

KIND HEARTS

Please see below the update of changes from the Parish regarding the donations and mufti days for the Church bazaar that will take place on Sunday 7th December.

• Extreme hairstyles are unacceptable, no tramlines, undercuts or patterns shaved into pupil’s head are not permitted.  
• School requests that hair is cut no shorter than grade 3.  
• Pupils’ hair must not be dyed, bleached or highlighted. 
• Pupils with long hair must ensure that it does not impede their vision, cover their face or provide a health and safety risk.  
• School will ask pupils to tie longer hair back - a plain hairband or bobble may be used. 
• Bandana style hairbands and flowers/bows or excessive hair accessories are not to be worn; however, hair clips or bands in school colours are acceptable.
