Friday 24th May 2024

Mrs Farmer would like to extend a huge thank you to all of those who have supported the bring a bottle mufti day for the Parish summer fun day. If you you weren't able to donate a bottle today you can still do so after half term.

Thank you to those families that have already sent in FoodBank donations. There will be a basket in the reception area after half term for you to add further donations. Thank you for your continued support.

We will no longer be using School Life to send out messages, emails or other notifications. All communication from school will now be through Arbor. If you have not already registered for Arbor and need some assistance please speak to the school office. Many thanks.

Friday 7th June

To commemorate 80 years since the D-Day landings at World War II, the children can come to school wearing red, white and blue.

(Please note: whilst the actual date is Thursday 6th June, our commemoration will be on Friday as Year 6 are on a trip on the Thursday.)

Every class will have a History lesson on that day in order to raise awareness and celebrate our country's soldiers who helped to defend our country.

Miss Powell will be doing dance for Year 3 and Year 4.

They will begin on Tuesday 4th of June until Tuesday 9th July - 6 weeks - £3 per week - Total £18

Place are limited and you will need to sign your child up by using the links below.

This term is always very busy, as we fastly approach the final half term before we break up for summer. It is also the term where you suddenly realise how much progress the children have made over the last academic year and how much they have grown and changed since the beginning of September. School life is very busy, and I think it is really important that we take a moment to recognise the growth of every individual in our school; the progress they have made both academically and socially, and the experiences they have had. As the final half term approaches, I would ask that you take note of the diary dates, as there is always so much on at the end of the year.

It has been a fantastic week for Year 6 who have been celebrating the end of their SATs tests!

On Wednesday they went down to London for a guided tour and education workshop at the Houses of Parliament...

On Thursday, they had a pizza making workshop with Paige from Class Catering - they demonstrated fantastic listening skills, designed some fantastic pizzas, and enjoyed eating them at lunch time!

We were treated to the Reception's class assembly this morning. It started with loud and clear voices letting us know the important message that 'We are all Unique.' We were reminded that we are all beautiful and important, just as we are. We are all made in the image and likeness of God and have great value. Reception showed us that everyone is special and that we should treat every person the same way we want to be treated. They sang their hearts out for their three songs. What beautiful singing!  It was wonderful to hear about Reception's different talents and celebrating our different cultures.  We are so proud of you Reception for your first class assembly. Thank you to Miss Gawthorp and Mrs Doohan for preparing the assembly with the children.

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 push notifications 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.

Please see the ‘Come and Pray with Us’ sessions below.

On the afternoon, please come to the School Reception (Office) and sign in. Grandparents and younger siblings are welcome to attend.

Kind Regards,

Mrs Laskey and Mrs Brocklesby
