SPRING HAS SPRUNG! Last term ended with some really beautiful assemblies to mark the events of Holy Week. The children were extremely prayerful and provided some thoughtful reflection time for us all. On Maundy Thursday the chaplains led us in the stations of the cross in church. It was lovely to see lots of our parens and parishioners joining with us for this occasion and many commented on how prayerful the children were. Thank you to all of you who returned the parents’ questionnaire. Along with the pupil questionnaires, they have really helped us to shape our new vision and mission statement and decide on our core, collective values. Our school chaplains will be introducing the new mission statement to our whole school community very soon. We’re looking forward to this term for lots of reasons but one of the highlights will be our First Communion celebrations in church. All of our families are welcome to come and celebrate alongside the Year 3 children. Thank you for your continuing support, Mrs B. O’Donoghue 1
