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

Friday 4th September 2026

Please see the dates above for the teacher 'Meet and Greet' sessions that will be held next week.

We will notify you on Monday of the class curriculum workshops, that are always welcomed and well attended by parents.

Please see the letter from Mrs Bury that was sent via email yesterday.

It has been lovely to welcome the children back to school, and we have been so impressed with how smart and grown-up they have looked in their uniforms. Thank you for your support in helping them return looking so smart and ready for the new school year.

Just a gentle reminder that all nail varnish should be removed before Monday. We would also like to remind families that only small stud earrings may be worn in school; hoops and other styles of earrings are not permitted.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support in helping us maintain our smart school uniform and ensuring that the children feel proud of how they look.
