St Joseph's Catholic Primary School



As we reach the half term break, we would like to take a moment to express our thanks to the school and parish community. It is through this shared effort and strong sense of community that our school continues to thrive.

We are incredibly proud of the children and what they have achieved over the past few weeks.


Loving God, We thank you for this gift of this half term break.

Keep our children safe in all they do.

Bless their laughter and help them rest.

May they return refreshed , grateful for your love, and ready to grow in kindness and faith. Amen

 

 

 

St Godric's Catholic Primary School


As we come to the end of this term, we offer our sincere thanks to all families and parishioners for your continued support. As always, the children have been a joy, working hard with great enthusiasm. I think they are certainly ready for a break!


We wish everyone a peaceful and restful half-term break and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

 

 

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School



We are delighted to share the exciting news that we have secured our school visit to the Houses of Parliament for this year. Our Year 5 and 6 children will travel to London on 12th June to enjoy a guided tour of Parliament, see Buckingham Palace, and take in some of the other iconic sights of our capital city. This is always a memorable opportunity for our pupils to deepen their understanding of democracy and British heritage.

We are also offering tours of our school and nursery for families with children who will be turning three in the next year. Spaces are filling up quickly, so we encourage families to get in touch soon if they would like to join our nurturing early years.



St Leonard's Catholic Secondary School




We have recently received a letter from the Secretary of State for Education recognising the work of our school. This acknowledgement reflects the dedication of our staff and pupils, and we are grateful for the continued support of our school community.
