    International Week Celebration

    Our school community came together to celebrate International Week with great enthusiasm, colour, and joy. Throughout the week, pupils explored and appreciated cultures from around the world through a variety of exciting activities and experiences.

    One of the highlights of the celebration was the International Food Market, where families kindly contributed delicious dishes representing different countries and traditions. Pupils enjoyed tasting new foods and learning about the stories and customs connected to them.

    Children also took part in learning about traditional and modern music from around the world, discovering how music helps express culture, identity, and celebration. In classrooms, pupils explored the history and traditions of different countries, broadening their understanding of the wider world and celebrating the richness of diversity within our school community.

    Many pupils proudly wore traditional clothing or colours representing their heritage, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere across the school. These experiences encouraged meaningful conversations about respect, inclusion, and cultural pride.

    As part of the week, pupils also learnt about influential international artists and created artwork inspired by different artistic styles and traditions from around the world. Their creativity and curiosity were wonderful to see.

    International Week was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes our school so special. We would like to thank all families and staff for their support and contributions in making the week such a memorable success.

    HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY!

    Our children celebrated today the life and work of Sir David Attenborough, exploring his incredible contributions to wildlife filmmaking and environmental awareness. Through engaging activities, our children have learned about biodiversity, conservation, and the importance of protecting our planet. Classrooms were filled with creativity, from fact files and posters to discussions about how we can all make a difference. The celebration inspired a deeper appreciation for the natural world and encouraged everyone to take small steps towards a more sustainable future. Thank you for all the amazing pieces of homework that you have created, as well as thanks to the PTA who have also supported this.

    Our school community came together on Thursday to honour Our Lady with a joyful procession and the traditional crowning of Mary. Students reverently carried flowers, symbols of love and devotion, as we walked in prayer and song. The celebration concluded with the crowning of the statue of Mary, a beautiful reminder of her role as our Mother and Queen.

    This special occasion offered a meaningful opportunity for reflection, gratitude, and unity as we entrusted our intentions to her loving care. Thank you to all the parents and children who attended and for those who donated flowers.

  • Year of St. Francis has begun!

    Published 27/03/26

    In this special Year of St Francis, dedicated by Pope Leo, we are invited to rediscover the simple yet profound message of St Francis of Assisi: to live with humility, peace, joy, and care for all creation.

    Throughout the year, our parish community will reflect on his example of faith in action, reaching out to those in need and deepening our relationship with God through prayer and service. May this be a time of renewal, compassion, and renewed commitment to living the Gospel in our daily lives.
