St Patrick's Catholic Primary School News

Dear Children, Parents, Volunteers, Staff, Members of FOSPA and Governors,   I wish to express my deep gratitude to you all at the end of this academic year. Thank you for your support and dedication to the work of education and spiritual formation of pupils at  St Patrick’s. Year 6 children, I wish you every success on your journey through life. It has been a privilege for us all at St Patrick’s  community to get to know you, teach and guide you. Continue to work hard, believe in yourselves, respect one  another and always trust in God waiting to help you, no matter what. We shall treasure very fond memories of you. I hope that all our staff and families will have an opportunity to rest and recover during the summer   break. I look  forward to seeing you all in September.   As some of our staff leave, I wish them every success on their future paths.   May Lord bless you and your families with peace, hope, faith and love.   Mr R. ...

Although sometimes we might have difficulty showing it, we pray they know how important they are to us. Dumkene 6J: Lord, we pray for the staff of our school. We thank them for their support and guidance throughout our time in primary school. May they continue to guide and support all who pass through this school.

May we continue to laugh together and support each other when times are difficult. Guide us when making new friendships as we move on to our secondary schools.  

  Year 2 Graduation:  Monday 15 th July, the Year 2 celebrated their Graduation from Key Stage 1 with a wonderful afternoon in school that celebrated them and all of their hard work and achievements. The children received their certificates in a lovely ceremony and performed three songs and dances to all their parents, siblings and friends. After all of their performing was done, they all relaxed and enjoyed themselves in the Peace Garden for refreshments before going home. It was a fantastic and fun day and the children really enjoyed it. We can’t believe how much they have grown – in all ways – this year and are very proud of each and every one of them. Well done, Year 2!!!

They work tirelessly to get the fete together, organise volunteers, organise   donations, request raffle prizes, arrange publicity, organise entertainment, arrange food and much more.   Thank you to the school staff for your support throughout the event and helping us with the smooth running of this event.  Thank you to the parents / carers came along to help in setting up and those who stayed on to help with the clearing away.  Thanks also for all the generous donations of bottles, toiletries, plants, cakes and toys to the fete.  New recruits are always welcome and needed as we will be losing Year 6 parents/carers!   No matter ...
