Message from Mrs Brocklesby

Like and Follow our page on Facebook to keep up to date with all the comings and goings at St Ambrose!

Please ensure you have given social media consent on Arbor if you would like your child to be featured!

Over the weekend please visit our School Facebook page. You can access it via Facebook or by using the QR code above. 

We have decided to use it as a way to reach all families and friends of Saint Ambrose School. It is a place to keep up to date with the school’s news and find out more about recent events. After all, it’s called a ‘social’ media platform for a reason – it’s about people, engagement and building community. All things that are at the heart of Saint Ambrose School.

This week for example you can find out about Red Wednesday and soup making by Reception Class.

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. 

The Attendance Policy 2024-2025 states that:
Parents are asked to inform the school before 8.50a.m. on their child's first day of absence. This can be done via telephone (01562 823568) or email (enquiry_amb@emmausmac.com).  Parents are asked to keep the school informed of the child's continued absence if it does not constitute the 48 hours rule for the sickness bug. 
 

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.

This week to develop our understanding of the work of ‘Aid to the Church in Need’ (ACN) we supported the ‘Red Wednesday’ campaign. Everyone in school wore red to show support of persecuted Christians throughout the world. Please visit our school Facebook Page to see a fantastic video of our school community demonstrating their support.

The Parish Christmas Bazaar will be held on Sunday December 1st after Mass. We would like to request donations of bottles, chocolates, and gifts etc.. for the Tombola; good quality bric-a-brac is also welcome. Donations can be dropped off at the Rectory. 
 
As a school we will be supporting this Parish event.
