Headmaster's Welcome
Dear Parents
I hope that this week’s edition of the Chronicle finds you well and looking forward to the week ahead. It has been a glorious, bright clear day today and, with any luck, it will continue into the weekend.
We started this week on a very positive note with our Under 10 Netball team putting in an outstanding performance at the ISA netball tournament. Well done to everyone who attended and my thanks are also extended to Mrs Roberts and Mrs Duigan for accompanying the children and coaching and cheering them on. The full report is featured later in this communication and I understand that the girls brought in their medals from this competition and proudly wore them during assembly this morning.
On Tuesday Mrs Olden and Mrs Hill accompanied some of our musicians to Crescent School when they took part in an Orchestra Day. This culminated in a performance to parents at the end of the day. This has become a regular reciprocal event in the calendar and a wonderful opportunity for the Foundation Junior Schools to perform together.
Our U9A, B and C football teams enjoyed very good results against Warwick Junior yesterday. The A team narrowly lost 3-4, the B team won convincingly 8-1 and the C, equally so, by beating Warwick 9-0. Well done to all the boys and their coaches.
We will be opening our doors to visitors tomorrow during Open Morning and I look forward to seeing many of our pupils helping tomorrow morning. I appreciate that your family arrangements for the weekend may have been adjusted to allow students to take part and I thank you very much for your co-operation.
Stars of the Week were awarded to Olivia, Francesca, Thomas, Henry, Arthur, William, Hannah, Kate, Alex, Max, Scarlett, Lucas and Teddy and Kate was presented with the RE Book of the Week award. Well done to all the recipients of awards. Thank you to Mr Cottrill for hosting assembly today whilst I attended a Headteacher’s meeting and training day.
Rehearsals are going well for all the dances which will be performed on 19 March after the St Joseph’s Day Mass. Please reserve your seats by responding to the communication that was sent earlier today; it promises to be a wonderful performance involving the whole school. For those of you who are not able to attend or would like a lasting memento of the show, a video will be available at a later date. Further details will be published in The Chronicle.
As you will be aware, a letter has been sent to all parents of School and Nursery children regarding CoVid19, the procedures that are in place and our current action plans. We will continue to carefully monitor the situation and follow the advice from Public Health England. Further updates will also be communicated on our website.
With best wishes for a relaxing weekend.
God bless
Mr Duigan
