The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen

Message from Mrs Brocklesby
It has been a real joy to welcome all our pupils back to school. Seeing the children walk through the gates with big smiles, smart uniforms, and positive energy has been truly heart-warming. We’re off to a fantastic start!
We are also thrilled to welcome our new Reception and Nursery pupils into our school family — we know they will settle in quickly and begin a wonderful journey with us.
Across the school, our children have now met their new teachers and are settling into their classes with eagerness and excitement. We’re delighted the children will study new topics, designed to inspire curiosity, deepen learning, and broaden experiences.
I would also like to take this opportunity to officially welcome Mr Holman to the Saint Ambrose community. I know that his love of teaching and supporting pupils in his care will enable all pupils to flourish.
As always, Mrs Laskey and I look forward to working in partnership with you to ensure that your child makes the very best possible progress this year. We are deeply committed to nurturing and caring for each and every pupil, so that they not only thrive academically, but also feel valued, safe, and supported every day.
There are many exciting opportunities ahead throughout this academic year. including a range of educational trips and inspiring visitors coming into school. These experiences are carefully chosen to enrich our curriculum and help bring learning to life for our pupils. As ever, parents will be invited to join our whole school community, and will be invited to learn alongside your child at curriculum workshops held throughout the year.
Thank you, as ever, for your ongoing support. It truly makes a difference, and we are so grateful to work alongside such a positive and engaged community of families.
Wishing you and your child a happy, successful year ahead.

Attendance

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 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.
