There have been many moments of celebration across our school community. We were delighted to celebrate Father Sujith's birthday, recognising his continued support and contribution to school life. We also marked Thank a Teacher Day, taking time to acknowledge the dedication, care and hard work of our wonderful staff team. This term has also been a special time of faith. Many of our children took important steps on their spiritual journey by receiving the Sacraments of First Holy Communion. These celebrations were truly beautiful occasions for our children, families and parish community. In addition, we were honoured to welcome Sister Anna, who brought with her the relic of St Carlo Acutis, sharing the inspiring story of his life and faith with our pupils. As a school, we have continued to focus on developing and embedding our whole-school expectations.

Year 6 pupils also had the opportunity to celebrate the end of their primary school journey alongside other pupils from across our Trust at Clifton Cathedral, where they attended a special Mass celebrated by the Bishop. It was a memorable and fitting occasion as they prepare for the next chapter of their education. There have been countless enrichment opportunities throughout the term. Children have enjoyed educational visits to Weymouth, the Tutankhamun Museum, and Sydney Gardens, while Year 6 pupils eagerly anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed their London residential, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Sporting and community events have brought everyone together in celebration. Our Sports Day at Mudford Recreation Ground was a fantastic success, showcasing teamwork, determination and sporting spirit. One of the highlights of the year was undoubtedly our Multicultural Celebration Day, where children experienced music, dance, games and stories from around the world. The day culminated in our vibrant Summer Fête, a joyous occasion full of smiles, laughter and community spirit. We are also excited to see the finishing touches being added to our newly revamped Curiosity Room and Angel Room, creating inspiring spaces that will further enhance children's learning and wellbeing.
