Religious Life of the School
Our Friday morning assemblies continue each week, when the school comes together to reflect on the word of God and to participate in class led presentations.
A schedule of the assemblies for this term has been sent to all parents so that you know what is coming up!
Thank you to 1H who presented an amazing assembly last Friday on the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla!
First Holy Communion
The First Holy Communion for our Year 3 children will take place on Saturday 20th May at 11am in our local parish church, Pius X.
Thank you to Mr Lynch for coordinating this programme and to Miss Harris the class teacher who are preparing the children on their sacramental journey.
I am sure you join with me in wishing our Year 3 children well as they prepare to receive the sacrament of the Eucharist.
RE Home Learning
Gospel: If you love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15-21)
Using the Wednesday Word link below, read last Sunday’s Gospel
and reflect on the questions below with your family.
You will have an opportunity to discuss them again this week in School.
- Can you name Jesus’ Commandments?
- What is the gift that Jesus will send to the disciples?
- How do you think this gift will help his disciples?
- What did Jesus mean when he said, “You will see me as I truly am”?

Attendance
So far, the percentage attendance this year is 93%.
In comparison with previous years, this is very low and quite concerning.
Well done to all of you who continue to attend school regularly.
Please ensure that your child is at school every day unless he/she is unwell.
Coding Skills

As part of our International Women’s Day celebrations, through the month of March we were visited by a range of women.
