• R.E. Inspection

  Mon 22 Apr 2024

  The school is due to have an inspection undertaken by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate on Wednesday 24^th and Thursday 25^th April. The inspection is both a diocesan and a statutory responsibility.

   

  In the organisation of the Church, the bishop is the ‘first teacher’ in the diocese with responsibility for the formation and education of his people, with particular responsibilities in schools.  The inspectors working for the Inspectorate act on his behalf to fulfil this responsibility.

   

  The purpose of inspection is to report to and advise the bishop on the quality of the Catholic life and mission of the school, of religious education and of collective worship. Of course, it also stands to inform parents and the wider Catholic community.

   

  Inspectors will observe learning and acts of worship, talk to staff and pupils, analyse data, and discuss emerging issues with the school’s leadership. The inspection culminates in a written report that will be sent to you.

   

  The view of parents is very important, and we shall be sharing with the inspectors any evidence we have of parents’ views of the school. The inspectors would also like to hear directly from you.  We appreciate that we have not given you very much time, but it would be helpful if you could complete the questionnaire, which can be accessed https://forms.office.com/e/eyucfrDp5V. Responses to the questionnaire go directly to the inspectors, are anonymous, and individual responses cannot be identified.

   

  Thank you for taking the time to complete the questionnaire. We look forward to sharing the outcomes of the inspection when the report has been received.

   

• Mini Marathon Charity Event: Strand Partnership

  Wed 17 Apr 2024

  All school's across Sefton will be running a mini marathon to support the #kNOwknifecrime to raise funds for bleeding control kits. Our school is part of the STRAND partnership and all donations will be pooled together in hope that we raise enough for every school to have a bleeding control kit and cabinet for their local area. We strive to make our community safer for all our children.

  Any donations would be greatly appreciated and can be donated via the following link: https://www.cashforkidsgive.co.uk/.../strand-partnership/.

• WORLD BOOK DAY

  Thu 07 Mar 2024

  Our World Book Day theme will be Bedtime Stories.  On Thursday 7th March, we are asking the children to wear their pyjamas (substantial ones, not nighties or short sets) to school and bring in their favourite bedtime story book.

  During the day all children will take part in book-related class activities and share their stories with each other. This is always an enjoyable day for our children, without parents going to any expense or trouble finding costumes.

  We thank you for your support.

  In return, we are asking for a £1 donation (or more if you wish) to help raise funds for Children In Need - who support children and young people be the best they can be.

• Flu Immunisation Programme

  Mon 16 Oct 2023

  The nasal flu vaccination is being offered at school on Monday 16/10/23. To ensure your child does not miss out on their flu spray you must opt in or opt out here if you have not already done so - https://econsent.merseycare.nhs.uk/ 

  If your child receives the flu vaccination at the GP you will need to inform the School Health Team on 0151 247 6130.

  Please use the link to say YES or NO.

  Thank you for your co-operation.   

• Healthy Snack

  Mon 09 Oct 2023

  Dear parents and carers,

  Once again, we must request that children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 only bring in fruit or vegetables as a snack at morning break.

  We have had so many cereal bars, chocolate biscuits, crisps, and other items that just aren't healthy or fair to the other children who stick to this rule.

  There is also a health and safety risk - some of these items can contain nuts, and we do have children who are allergic to nuts.  This could be a huge problem as some children are sharing their snacks.

  If your child needs to bring a snack to enjoy at morning break, please only provide a piece of fruit or vegetables.

  If children do bring in anything other than fruit or veg, they will be asked to keep them until home time.

  Thank you

• Wear Yellow for Young Minds Charity

  Mon 02 Oct 2023

  To show our support for World Mental Health Day, we would like to brighten up a school day by wearing yellow! 

  Children may come into school wearing something yellow in   addition to their uniform in exchange for a £1 donation. This could be anything from a yellow hair band, yellow socks or even a yellow scarf or hat - anything yellow!

  Wearing something yellow on Tuesday 10th October will help spread the word that, whatever we are going through, we can talk to someone if we are struggling to cope. 

  All money raised will go towards the YoungMinds charity.
