St John’s RC Primary School

This will be our last newsletter for this term as we break up for the Easter holidays on Wednesday 4 April at 3.00pm. Normal uniform, if the hot weather continues please remember to bring a hat or cap.

Statements to live by:

I try to use words that make the world a better place (please, sorry, thank you).

We strive to instil within the children a sense of belonging within a range of communities and for them to play an active role as members of society.

Holy Week:

As part of our Holy Week programme there will be a Palm Procession (led by Foundation and KS1) and Stations of the Cross (led by Class 6) on Wednesday afternoon (4 April).

Easter egg raffle and St. Joseph’s Penny:

An Easter egg raffle will take place on Wednesday 4 April (last day of term). Proceeds will be donated to St. Joseph’s Penny charity.

If you have any collection boxes for St. Joseph’s Penny ready to return, please hand into the school office or class room so that we can finalise a payment to the charity. Thank you to those who have returned the St. Joseph’s Penny collection boxes and thank you for supporting the charity.
