Dear Parent/Carer,

October – the Month of Mary

This month the children have been learning how Mary guided Jesus, her son. We have also been praying to Mary so that she might guide us in life too.

Ofsted

As you know the school was inspected by Ofsted this week. Can I thank you all for your support, in what has been a very busy few days. In particular, can I thank the children, whose excellent behaviour, politeness and positives attitudes towards school impressed our visitors. The report will be published towards the end of the month.

Cricket Club

Apologies but the Cricket Club next week is cancelled. The children will still receive their entitled number of sessions.

69th Bristol Beaver Colony

The colony meets in St Josephs Parish Hall on a Tuesday evening (5pm-6pm), and we desperately need adult help. Can you spare*perhaps an hour*each month to help out with fun games and activities? Or if you would like to get more involved, we could use regular weekly help too. And if you are really keen, why not train to be an assistant leader? No scouting experience necessary, just a sense of fun.

For more details contact: Paula Mainprise on 07766494086 or email pbarwood@yahoo.co.uk

Celebration of Achievements

There will be a celebration assembly next Monday morning. The following children will receive awards:-

Kameron Bains-Doyle, David Sebastian, Morgan Quirke, David Sebastian, Mikenagh Quirke, Kaycie Bryce, Nikola Tolman

Lateness

There seems to be an increasing number of pupils who are coming to school late. If lateness becomes persistent your child will miss a significant amount of teaching time. Continued lateness causes disruption to the class teacher and the other pupils who are already engaged in the first lesson of the day. Also pupils are late being picked up at the end of the day.

After School Clubs
We hope to give you an update about the status of the Drama and Multi-Sport next week. We are currently seeking alternative providers for these activities.

Yours Sincerely




Matt Condon
Headteacher
