Dear Parents/Guardians,

Orange Class led the whole school assembly this morning as it was the end of their Mission week. They did a brilliant job and spoke so clearly and shared their energy and message to love each other as directed by the scripture reading they read. Well done Orange Class.

On Thursday, the girls football teams competed in the 'Freddie Driessen Tournament' which was held at Cardinal Newman for the second year, in memory of Freddie, a dear colleague. The girls performed strongly and retained the trophy – well done girls!

This afternoon we welcomed Monica Harding (MP for Esher and Walton) to have a tour of the school and to meet staff and pupils. The choir performed and Monica listened to members of the Prayer Council explaining their role in school and the local community. Monica was very complimentary and listened to all the children's questions and concerns about the local area. 

Have a lovely weekend,

Gerry Flower

Please support our Buy a Brick Campaign  

Buy a Brick – How You Can Help

To help fund the group room project, we are launching a Buy a Brick scheme. For a donation of £60 or more, your family name — or a short personal message — will be permanently engraved on a brick displayed in the school. This will be a lasting reminder of the role our families played in creating something special for current and future pupils.

Any contribution is gratefully received, and every donation brings us one step closer to completing the project. We have set a target of raising £10,000 from this.

How to Take Part

National Online Safety: Wake Up Wednesday Guides for Parents 

We would like to make you aware of our ‘online safety’ advice, guidance and support page called ‘Wake Up Wednesday - what parents / carers need to know’.

Wake Up Wednesday, created by The National College, aims to inform parents and carers on topics such as social media platforms, gaming, and iPad security. They include top tips, important reminders and reality checks on a wide range of online safety topics. They are a great resource to keep up to date with the issues children may encounter. 

We will post relevant articles of interest that should help you and your child here on our website.

We thank you for your ongoing support in assuring the safety of our pupils online.
