Welcome to St Bridget's C of E Primary School
26-4-24
Dear Parents and Carers,
Since returning to school for the Summer term we have asked the children to reflect on their good decisions, such as how they act to help or support others and the steps they take to do well in their classrooms. As ever, the children have responded impressively, working together to include their peers in games over lunchtime and demonstrating wonderful effort when learning and we are very proud of how often our children look to enact our mission of loving our neighbour.
Parking update
It was wonderful to see so many parents respond positively whilst our school council helped support safe parking around school. We are grateful to all those parents who considered their parking location and put the safety of our school community first.
Sadly, it seems not all members of our school community have responded to our request and some parents continue to park illegally and endanger our children. I am in contact with the council and local police to see how we can further compel all drivers to park safely and demonstrate the values of safety and respect that we are instilling in our children.
Dog Poo Campaign
A huge thank you once again to all involved in the poster competition! It was a huge success and even made the local newspaper (link to article). Whilst the bad weather of Easter hampered some of the posters it was a great source of pride to see our school support the local community so prominently.
Message from the PTA: Helpers needed for the Summer Fair on Saturday 29th June
To all parents/carers,
We need your help.
Last year, we had a successful Summer Fair and we are hoping to make this year's fair even better! We are planning to combine with St. Bridget’s Church again and hold a joint Summer Fair on the afternoon of Saturday 29th June (from 1pm - 4pm).
We need you to volunteer and help at this event, otherwise we will not be able to make this as successful and fun as we hope it will be!
So if you are available and able to help, please volunteer. Most of the needed roles are on the day itself, but there are some preparation tasks needed in the days leading up to the fair.
Please click on this link to sign-up as a helper to make the Summer Fayre possible:
Or otherwise please email stbridgetspa@gmail.com if you are able to help in any way.
We are hoping to run many of the traditional fayre stalls alongside the church fayre stalls and some fun/activity stalls, including Bottle tombola, Sweets tombola, Cakes, Teddies, Gifts, Face-Painting, Glitter Tattoos, Games and a Craft stall.
We are also looking for extra gazebos to replace some older damaged gazebos. If you have a gazebo you are happy to donate or loan (just for the day of the fair), please can you let the PTA know.
If anyone has ideas of any additional stalls which they would like to organise and run, which would provide fundraising for the school, please get in contact with us.
Similarly, if you would like to become more involved in the PTA and help with planning future fundraising events, please let us know by email.
