Dear Parents, A short note to say welcome back and what a magnificent job you have done in turning out your children for the first day of school. They all look very smart and studious. Well done. New staff to our School We welcome Miss Bridges, Year 1 teacher and Miss Carmichael and Miss Hardiman, Teaching Assistants and Extended School Staff across the Federation. They do thank everyone at St.Cuthbert's for making them feel so welcome. Places are available: Places are available in
most classes. Although we have received 30 applications for Reception not
all have confirmed that they will take their place. This class will start
on Monday on an agreed phased start. All should have seen staff from
school. With our best ever SAT's results at KS2 with 100% achieving Level 4 at both English and Maths by teaching assessment. This will be one of the best in the country, let alone our city. We pride ourselves on our commitment to providing many opportunities for our children to not only enjoy but succeed, so our Spanish testing gave 100% success; sporting achievement including competition- winning certificates, medals and trophies. Maintaining our Investors in People and Basic Skills. Probably a great compliment to the work of the school is that our Summer Report from the L.A's School Improvement Partner (SIP) said the school was now on the Ofsted criteria a Grade 1 (outstanding) School especially for the care, guidance and welfare of all of our children. A fantastic compliment to the hard work of you our parents, our children and our dedicated staff. Pakistan Appeal - Papal Visit to UK We have been invited to
send some children and staff to go to London to meet the Pope at a special
'educational' gathering from across Britain, again not every school lucky
to be going. We are part of a number of schools representing the
Archdiocese of Liverpool. To link into this we want to follow the request from Pope Benedict to raise money for this country which has suffered such a horrific disaster. We will be raising money by cake sales, donations, tuck shop. A list will be sent to you about events in next two weeks. As you can appreciate EVERY PENNY counts. One event will be Tuesday afternoon at home time, when a jumble sale of lost/unclaimed property can be taken away for a donation to our Papal appeal. None of these items of clothing had names in which would have helped us to return to the rightful owners. Vandalism Sadly this happens. The trees on the yard were half snapped off (willow tree) as well as an attempted break-in to the Church (this is derelict). Please help protect our school by passing information onto us or phoning police if you see anything untoward on our site. Thank you. Breakfast Club/After School Club Breakfast club is run from 7.45 am - 8.45 am in St.Cuthbert's. Cost £1.80 After School Club is run from 3.15 pm - 5.45 pm in Sebastian's. Children are taken up to St.Sebastian's by a walking bus each night. Cost £5.80. Jewellery/Packed Lunches/Valuables Jewellery is not allowed at all. If studs are worn, they need to be covered for health and safety reasons. Valuables are not to be brought into school, e.g i-pods, phones, toys, games etc. Packed lunches guidelines are that kitchen staff are not to throw away food left by children BUT to return it to home so parents can see what is eaten and not eaten usually because it is too much. School Lottery We have a few numbers left on our school lottery. If anyone is interested in having a number please see Mrs Lally. Yours sincerely, Mr D Hardiman |
