Our Lady of Mount Carmel A Joyful Year of Learning, Faith and Community at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School As we come to the end of the school year, we reflect with pride and gratitude on all that our children have experienced and achieved at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. It has been a year full of learning, laughter, faith and friendship. We began the summer term with the Crowning of Mary—a treasured moment in our school calendar. Children, staff and parishioners gathered in prayer and song to honour Our Lady, placing her at the centre of school life. Across the year, pupils have embraced the world around them through a wide variety of trips and hands-on experiences. Year 6’s residential to Hooke Court was a highlight, full of outdoor learning and team-building. Children also visited Gore Farm with their families as part of our Military Monday group, enjoying a special day on the land meeting animals and playing in the woods. Other exciting adventures included water testing at a local reservoir, exploring the coast at West Bay, a historical Tudor Day, and sustainability workshops at Carymoor. Some classes visited The Newt, while younger pupils explored our local area and took part in life drawing in a garden, developing close observation and creativity. A key moment this year was our “Disconnect to Reconnect” Day, when we turned off all electricity to help children reflect on how we live and care for our planet. This supported our continuing journey towards the CAFOD LiveSimply Award, along with fundraising for causes like Marvellous Moo Cow for CAFOD. We were delighted to welcome Tom Power -— a former pupil and now the youngest Councillor in Somerset—back to school. His visit was both inspiring and a reminder of the values our pupils carry with them. Our sense of community remained strong as we hosted afternoon tea with parishioners, sharing their learning, laughter, memories of the school and homemade cake!
