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

Friday 3rd May 2024

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.

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.

All of next week, our wonderful children in Year 6 will be showing their brilliance in the end of Key Stage 2 assessments, know as the SATs.  They will be taking papers in Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar, Reading and Maths.  I know that they will work incredibly hard so please be especially kind and respectful to them next week - they will be very tired!

PE:

• Black shorts (summer)/black joggers (winter)
• Burgundy t-shirt with logo
• E pumps or trainers
• Bag to hold pumps, t-shirt, and shorts/joggers.

Key stage 2 only: Swimming costume, towel, and swimming cap

Dear Parents and Carers

It was lovely to start the day today with Celebration Assembly and remind ourselves of our school mission.  The children who received their certificate for discipleship are true role models for living out the school mission. Well done to those children.

We shared in Celebration Assembly a selection of the poster designs for Pope Francis’ Five Finger Prayer – what a wonderful response.  The Liturgical Leaders have helped me to display these in the corridor for all to see.  If your child wishes to make a poster over the weekend we can add it to the gallery next week.  Thank you for supporting your child with this.

The Royal Mail have been very busy this week as we have received both a letter and a parcel from Buckingham Palace.   Over two months ago Year One wrote to King Charles III and asked him a few questions about life as a King, they also sent him their best wishes.  Year One were so excited when a letter arrived earlier in the week and shared the response from the Head of Royal Correspondence with the rest of the school this morning. The parcel that was delivered, was also opened during Assembly and we discovered that it was an official portrait of His Majesty King Charles III marking the start of the new Reign. The framed photograph of His Majesty was taken in Autumn 2023 at Windsor Castle. This will now be displayed in school for all to see.   

I wish you all a lovely three-day weekend. Enjoy the May Bank Holiday Monday.

Mrs Laskey
