Your child has received a sponsorship form to complete for the event.  These forms should be completed and returned to the school office along with the money raised (which should be in a sealed envelope). The funds raised will not only support our GB sporting stars, but our school will also receive a large proportion of the money to enable them to purchase new PE equipment. If every child raises £30 each we will get up to £3,450 to spend on PE and sports equipment. To make a donation online visit the Inspired Through Sport website below:

Good attendance is very important to us here at St Ambrose Catholic Primary School and we are working hard to make sure that all children attend school as often as possible. Our school target is 96%. We understand that children cannot help being ill, but we would urge parents to do their best to ensure that medical and dental appointments are made for outside of school hours. Below is a table highlighting how time off affects a child's learning:

Please contact the school office if you would like to come to the drop in session. Also remember appointments on a 1-1 basis can be arranged with Mrs Price - this can also be done via the School Office.

Class Catering have kindly asked that any lunch orders are ordered in advance and not on the day that a lunch is required. Many thanks.

Best wishes,

Mrs Stewart.
