‘We live our lives like Jesus’

14th April 2026

Dear Parents and Carers

We hope your Easter break was full of the joy of the Risen Christ. We were delighted to see such a fantastic array of Easter bonnets – they were amazing and a super way to celebrate all the joy of Easter.

This term is always a busy one; please do keep an eye on the Chronicle and school website for important dates.

Mini Vinnie’s Request: The Mini Vinnies would like donations of small flowerpots to prepare for a plant sale they are organising.

School Uniform donations: We are also looking for spare clothing to keep on hand for little accidents. Particularly if you have any spare black joggers or leggings, they’d be greatly appreciated! If your child has taken any school uniform home due to an accident, please return it to school once it has been washed. We appreciate your support.

 

ARBOR APP - Please can I ask all parents to check their child's information on the ARBOR APP.   If you received a new mobile or have moved recently, please update the contact details and ensure all the information on your child's record is correct. We are particularly keen for parents to check the religion status for their child as we believe there are a number of children recorded as Christian and not specifically as Catholic.

SMART Devices - I am writing to remind you that for the safeguarding of all members of our school community, children are not permitted to wear smart technology devices into school. This includes items such as smart watches. Children are permitted to wear a basic digital or analogue watch, but this must not have any photographic or communicative functions and should not be valuable. If you are not sure whether a watch is suitable for school, please speak to the class teacher.

Benefitted Related Free School Meals - As you may be aware, families on certain benefits may be entitled to what is known as the Pupil Premium Grant - this is an amount of money, about £1300, that the school receives to support children in school. Where a family is entitled to the pupil premium grant, we offer subsidies for trips and some activities. However, families are also entitled to free holiday activities and a supermarket voucher during some holidays. If you have not checked whether you are entitled please do so before the end of September by clicking on this link Synergy - Enquiry Please do speak to Mrs Penney in the office if you need any help.
