St Joseph the Worker

On 1st May, we celebrate the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker, a day that honours St Joseph’s role as a humble carpenter and faithful guardian of the Holy Family. St Joseph shows us that even the simplest tasks, when done with love and care, have great value in God’s eyes.

This year, we invite our school community to reflect more deeply on the importance of perseverance, responsibility, and quiet service. In a world that often celebrates success loudly, St Joseph reminds us that faithfulness in everyday work, whether in the classroom, at home, or in our wider community, is something truly special.

Through prayer and reflection in school, the children will be encouraged to recognise their own gifts and talents, and to understand how these can be used to help others and contribute to the common good. In following St Joseph’s example, we continue to grow as a community rooted in kindness, respect, and service.

St Joseph the Worker, pray for us.

Closure Days & Year 6 Leavers

The new KS2 classroom is nearly complete, and following this, internal works will begin to create a Butterfly classroom, three offices, and a sensory room.

To prepare, 9 of our 12 classes will move to new learning spaces. As a result, school will close earlier than planned on Wednesday 22nd July. Work will be provided so that children will continue learning at home on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th July, with completed work welcome back in September for marking.

Further details about collection times and home learning will be shared closer to the date. Thank you for your understanding as we make these significant improvements for our pupils.

Due to the Closure Days, it has been necessary to change the date for our Year 6 Leavers Assembly. This will now take place on our final day of term for the children, Wednesday 22nd July. Parents/Carers of children in Year 6 are very welcome to join us in school to celebrate.
