13th November 2026 News from our Parish Schools
St Joseph's Catholic Primary School
· Anti Bullying Week was a huge success last week in school, and the children came together to raise awareness and promote kindness, respect and inclusion.
Odd Sock Day celebrated what makes everyone unique, and the children proudly wore their odd socks to show that it's ok to be different. It was fantastic to see teamwork and support and to remind us that everyone feels safe, happy and valued.
On Wednesday 18th November and Thursday 19th November parents can book an appointment via Arbor for Parents Evening in school.
St Godric's Catholic Primary School
There are still places available in our Nursery and we are offering tours for those looking for a school place from September 2027. In our recent Ofsted inspection, St. Godric's was graded Strong in five areas, with inspectors describing the school as a happy and caring place where children feel safe, thrive and grow in confidence. If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, please contact the school office on 0191 384 7452 or info@stgd.bwcet.com
Next week is Anti-Bullying Week, with the theme "Break the Silence". The week begins with a special assembly and Odd Socks Day on Monday, when children are encouraged to wear odd socks to celebrate the differences that make us all unique.
On Friday, children are invited to come to school in non-uniform. Rather than bringing money, we are asking families to donate a small bag of food items for Feeding Families, the local charity we are supporting this half term.
St Thomas More Catholic Primary School
The Friends of St. Thomas More are currently raising funds to support the refurbishment of our outdoor areas. If you shop at Tesco please consider popping an extra few blue tokens into our box!
There are only two weeks left to collect tokens in the stores in Dragonville, Claypath, North Road and Market place. We would love to be the top token collectors to reach the £1500 maximum. Thank you for your support. See the poster at the back of each church.
St Leonard's Catholic Secondary School
Well done Kris Bethapudi, year 11 student from St. Leonard's secondary school who hiked the Snowdon peak on the 10th October and successfully raised a £ 1131 for CAFOD.
The money would be contributed to support underprivileged children across the world. Kris expresses his sincere gratitude for everyone’s generosity and support towards this cause.
