St Gildas This term at St Gildas has been filled with celebration, community, learning and faith in action. It has been a vibrant and joyful period for our school, marked by memorable experiences for pupils across all year groups and rich opportunities to strengthen our Catholic ethos and community partnerships. We began the term with the celebration of our school feast day, a truly special occasion that brought together pupils, staff, governors and families. We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Yeovil, who joined us for this joyful event. The celebration highlighted our school values and provided a wonderful opportunity for pupils to reflect on our mission and identity as a Catholic community. Our Year 5 residential visit to Kilve Court was a highlight for the children, offering them the chance to develop independence, teamwork and resilience. They took part in a range of adventurous outdoor activities, embraced new challenges and strengthened friendships. Staff were extremely proud of their enthusiasm, behaviour and willingness to try new experiences. This term we also participated in the DCET Public Speaking Competition, where our pupils represented the school with confidence and maturity. Their ability to articulate their views and speak with clarity was a real testament to the high expectations we continue to foster around oracy and communication. As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting a love of reading, we held our Non‑Fiction World Book Day, which celebrated curiosity, real‑world learning and factual texts. Pupils engaged in research projects, author studies and cross‑curricular reading activities that broadened their understanding of the world. The enthusiasm across the school was inspiring to see. Faith has remained at the heart of our school life this term.
