**PLEASE CAN WE ASK THAT YOU DO NOT USE THE CAR PARK AT DROP OFF AND PICK UP TIMES AS IT IS DANGEROUS AT THESE BUSY TIMES.**

Well done to all the children who received their certificate in assembly on Monday.

Well done Year 2 for delivering a wonderful assembly this morning!!

Here is what the children said about their assembly:

'I liked performing the Kenyan song to the people.' Theo Z.

'The best part of the play was when I made the flag and that I held the flag up with Theo and Jacob.' Rosie B.

'I like all of the animals and the song but my favourite animal was the rhino. I liked the flag, that was my best part.' Casey K.

'I liked performing the song. Also, I liked putting our hands together when sang. I loved it.' Catherine C.

'I liked making the Kenyan flag.' Bertie B.

On Monday, your child will receive an envelope containing information about services ExemplarEducation can offer your child. Please can you complete the reply slips to indicate whether you are interested in their services or not. The more reply slips we get back, the more funds we receive to spend on resources for our new school library.

Thank you for your support.

Miss Holtom

The Year 2 and Year 6 SATS evenings will be held on Monday 1st April. Please can we ask that you fill in and return the slips to let us know of your attendance.

The evening is both informative and useful and gives you the opportunity to discover ways in which to support your child and also to ask any questions regarding the SATS.

Please can we ask that you continue to keep giving tins and packets of food to our school foodbank, especially during Lent. The food collected is given to a foodbank for local distribution. Many thanks for your continued support.

In preparation for the Summer Fete, the PTA would like to get a head start for the bottle tombola! When the pupils return after half term, each class will have a 'Treasure Map'. Every time a pupil brings in a bottle of drink (fizzy pop, squash, alcohol etc) they can colour in another step closer to the treasure chest. The class that is closest when the collection ends in June will get a treat! Every little donation helps make our fundraising a success. 

The School PTA will be holding a meeting on Monday 8th of April. Please come along to share any fundraising ideas or if you would like to be part of the team.

Many thanks,

The School  PTA.

Mike Jones will be running a photography club for our KS2 children that will commence on Monday 10th April. He will be in to deliver an assembly to them next week promoting this wonderful opportunity.

Please see below the letter and registration form that will need to be completed if you wish your child to attend. 

Please can we ask that any outstanding payments for trips and/or music lessons for Spring and Summer term are handed into the school office as soon as possible. 

Also, if there are any outstanding payments for swimming lessons from last term, for our current Year 4 children, this needs to be paid immediately.

Kind regards.

WELL DONE YEAR 1 !!!

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:

Thank you to everyone who sent in clothing donations for Bag2School. This is a worthy cause that not only supports people less fortunate than ourselves but also creates extra funding for school.

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.

(All meetings will take place at 6.30pm in the School Hall)

Please make your parent's evening booking via the schoollife app. If you are experiencing any difficulties please speak to the school office.

Appointments on a 1-1 basis can be arranged with Mrs Price - this can also be done via the School Office.

SEN Parent's evening appointments are now live on the schoollife app. Please note that if your child is in Year 1 or Year 2 you will need to avoid booking on the day of their school trips. Year 1 trip is 9th April and Year 2 trip is 3rd April.

We have places available in Reception, Year 3 & Year 5. If you know of anyone who would be interested please refer them to the school office in the first instance. Many thanks.
