School Closed: Monday 19th September

As you may be aware Monday 19th September 2022 has been declared as a bank holiday, this will mean that school and wrap around care will be closed all day. School and wrap around care will be open as usual on Tuesday 20th September 2022.

As this is a time of national mourning, it is only right and respectful that we postpone this week’s Celebration Assembly on Friday 16th September, we will double up on Friday 23rd September 2022. Therefore, the children who have achieved behaviour, lunchtime award or Star of the Week will be celebrated (quite righty), but a week later. As a mark of respect, there will also be no newsletter this week.

Prayer for the Diocesan Vision

Written by the Liturgy and Worship group:

Spirit of God,
descend on me this day.
Grant me the Spirit of joy, to lift me,
the Spirit of hope to inspire me,
the Spirit of love to surround me and
the Spirit of truth to enlighten my path.

Holy Spirit,
I pray for a new outpouring of your grace,
so that I may grow in worship of your name
in love of you in my prayer
and in my actions towards others.

Come Holy Spirit into my life to guide me.
Strengthen and defend me,
so that I may be drawn ever closer to you.
Help me this day and always
to be a channel of grace
in all I say and do
and invite others into relationship with you.

Amen

Back to School: Belated St George’s Day Monday & Easter Bonnet Catwalk Tuesday

As we aren’t in school on actual St George’s Day, we didn’t want the children to miss out. All children and staff (not just those in St George) are invited to accessorise their normal uniform with a red item,
a St George flag or a red rose to celebrate England’s patron saint.

If you’ve made an Easter Bonnet for your Easter Homework task,
you can wear it with pride on our catwalk on Tuesday!
