FORMING CHRIST CENTERED PILGRIMS OF HOPE

This week we’re building on the strong start to the year, with key activities underway. Thank you to everyone for the continued energy and commitment, it has been great to see such positive momentum across the school. It was great to lead assembly on Monday morning, where we spent time exploring the theme of true identity. The children engaged thoughtfully with the discussion, reflecting on what makes each of us unique and the importance of being true to ourselves and our values.

This week we’d like to remind everyone how important it is to be in school on time. Being on time means you can join in from the very start and make the most of all the exciting lessons and activities planned for the day. It also helps everyone settle in quickly and keeps the day running smoothly. Thank you for helping us make sure every child can enjoy everything school has to offer. You will be receiving a letter soon with more information about our inclusive attendance approach and how we can work together to support all children in coming to school regularly and on time.

I am delighted to inform you that Mr. Pitt is now the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCO) across both Saint Ambrose and Saint Wulstan’s.

As SENDCO, Mr. Pitt will:

• Oversee and coordinate support for pupils with additional needs across both schools.

• Work with staff to develop personalised learning plans and strategies.

• Support families in understanding the school’s SEND provision and accessing external resources when needed.
