Parent Updates
Parent update Wednesday 22nd June 2022
Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you are enjoying this lovely weather! We are very busy in school; please read on for the latest news.
Warm Weather - Please apply suncream to your children before sending them to school in the morning. We have hypoallergenic sunscreen in school for your children to use if this needs to be topped up at lunchtime. Children may bring in suncream to be kept in their trays. Sunhats may be sent in alongside your child’s book bag/folder.
School Trips – Thank you to those of you who have already sent in payments for the school trips. The reality is though, that if enough parental contributions aren’t made the trips will be cancelled. The parents of each class have been sent an email with details of each trip. I have put a payment deadline on each of the trips. Please see details on the table below.
Fancy dress costumes – If you have any children’s fancy dress costumes that have been outgrown or are no longer used, we would be grateful if you could donate them to us.
Summer Fair – We are really looking forward to our school summer fair on Saturday 25th June 2-4pm – further information here.

Sports Day – Children are to attend school in their PE kits ie black joggers or shorts, black trainers or pumps on Friday 24th June. School jumpers. Usual PE kit is a plain white T Shirt. If children would like to wear a coloured T-shirt that matches their house, that would be fine. Please don’t buy anything specially (as we are reviewing the housepoint system before September).
House colours:
St Theresa’s – Blue
St Bernadette’s – Green
St Dominic’s – Red
St Maximillian – Yellow
Hometime - Please note that hometime is at 2.55pm. There are an increasing number of parents regularly arriving late which shows a lack of consideration to school staff and causes embarrassment to their children. We all have occasions where being late is unavoidable, to do this regularly isn’t acceptable.
Getting ready for September 2022 - We are doing a more in depth handover this year for all classes. The children’s teachers for next year are currently visiting their classes to support a more informed / in depth transition. There is no change in teaching staff for next year although we are moving some teachers to different year groups. The teachers for next year are as follows:
Y6 – Mrs Syeda
Y5 – Miss Floyd
Y4 – Miss Lowther
Y3 – Miss Doyle
Y2 – Mr McNulty
Y1 – Ms Collins
Reception – Mrs Sale
Nursery – Miss Morgan
