Parent Updates

Friday 24th January 2025

 

Dear Parents and Carers,  

We have had a lovely start to 2025! School is back into the full swing of things and everyone is enjoying their learning. 

 

Thank you for your support during the time we had the power cut last week and closed the school, it is never an easy decision to close but it was unavoidable. I realise how inconvenient this would have been for you. The children were happy to be back in school on Monday and get back to normal.  

We are all looking forward to celebrating the Jubilee Year starting with our launch day tomorrow.  

 

The 2025 Jubilee Year, also known as the "Pilgrims of Hope" Jubilee, is a Catholic celebration that begins on December 24, 2024 and ends on January 6, 2026.  

What is the Jubilee Year? 

  • A special year of grace in the Catholic Church  
  • A time for renewal and forgiveness in one's relationship with God  
  • A time when the faithful can ask for the forgiveness of sins.

 The four colours on the Jubilee logo are our house colours too and it was lovely to see everyone wearing them in our special Jubilee launch assembly today.  

The children will then be doing different activities in class celebrating the Jubilee and learning what the Jubilee means.  

We will be receiving the ‘Jubilee anchor’ that is being passed around schools in our Diocese after half term. We will receive it from Our Lady’s High School and 3 days later pass it on Mount Carmel Primary School.  

You are all invited to a ‘Jubilee Stay and Pray’ in the hall after school on Tuesday 28th January at 3.15pm. Our Advent ‘Stay and Pray’ was a lovely calming, reflective event and I would urge you to come and experience it on Tuesday with you child. It will be led by some of our Guardian Angels team. 

 

Young Carers 

Our Young Carers attended their first ‘Young Carers Club’ this week. They had a great time talking to each other about how they care for their siblings or parents and did some lovely nurturing, well being activities.  

This will take place weekly to support our Young Carers. If you think your child is a Young Carer for a sibling or adult, please get in touch with Mrs Webster for a chat and more information about this.
