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

As our Year 6 children prepare to sit their SATs next week, we ask our school community to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. The tests are just one part of their learning journey, and we are so proud of how hard they have worked throughout the year.

In celebration of their effort, resilience, and growth, we will be holding a special celebration to recognise their dedication in the week beg 19th May. This will be a time to come together and celebrate all their hard work.

We believe in you, Year 6 — you’ve got this!

We are delighted that our school PTA are organising a special VE Day Commemoration Event to honor the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. This is a valuable opportunity for our children to learn about the significance of this historic day and reflect on the sacrifices made for peace.

The whole school will have a picnic in the playground. Can we please ask that you either supply your child with a packed lunch or order a sandwich option through School Food United for this day. Children can come to school wearing either 1940’s style clothes or red, white and blue.

If you have any items or artefacts that relate to WWII your child can bring these in to go on display to be viewed by other pupils. Please ensure that they are clearly labelled with your child's name and class.

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.
