I cannot begin to tell you the pride that I feel for everyone in Our Lady’s school community. Every one of you is a blessing and I am humbled to think that I have been just a small part of this wonderful place!
Every child I look at (and remember from years gone by) is, and has been, a real inspiration - in fact the quote below sums it up beautifully!
I have been humbled to know and work with every one of your children - past and present!
More goodbyes…
Last week our amazing Miss Benson - our music teacher, announced that she has been successful in her application for a full time music teaching position at Ripley St Thomas Academy. Ripley is a large school situated in beautiful grounds in the city of Lancaster. The school has a long and proud tradition. It is a very prestigious post Miss Benson will take up from September.
We wish her many congratulations on this wonderful new post, but tinged with sadness as we will be saying goodbye to a skilled, inspirational and much loved practitioner next week. Miss Benson has worked as a woodwind teacher at Our Lady’s for many years and both staff and children will be sad to bid her farewell. We do wish her every success in her new post.
School will have a new woodwind teacher from September and Miss Hope (who currently teaches some music to Reception class weekly) will be teaching weekly music lessons for all Key Stage 1 pupils from September.
Thank you for the music Miss Benson!
End of year Leavers Mass
We will be holding our Leavers mass to celebrate our wonderful Year 6 pupils at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church at 9.30am on Tuesday 19th July and also to give thanks for God’s blessings on our whole school during this academic year.
Our Year 6 children will be leading this poignant mass and we will also be giving out our End of Year Golden Awards and our special Music Award to celebrate achievements throughout the school this year. It will be very special to be able to gather together as a whole school in this way once again. Families are very welcome to join us for this mass - but we ask that masks be worn by adults attending the mass on this morning.
