Dear Parents/Carers,

In our final assembly of the year I shared with the children the challenge of sleeping outside. This involved a combination of PE Mats which we used as wind breaks falling over in the night, the church bells being reliably loud each hour through the night and unfamiliar noises which are all not conducive to much sleep, but eight of our staff managed it. I have needed lots of coffee today! A special thanks to Hickories who delivered some breakfast to the staff members who slept out as well. Thank you to all of the families who supported our efforts. So far, we have raised over £2000 which I know will make a difference for a number of people at this lovely, but sometimes very challenging time of year.

Staff Changes

Mr Neal – We wish Mr Neal every success for the next two terms as he starts his secondment as the Headteacher of St. Andrew’s CE Primary in Bebington.
Mrs Marriott – We wish Mrs Marriott an enjoyable retirement. Mr Marriott has worked at St. Bridget’s for just over 15 years working in the office, being clerk to the Governors, teaching Spanish and organising pupil volunteers for the link Cafe. We will miss Mrs Marriott although we still see her when she comes into school to help run Spanish Club.
In January we are welcoming Mrs Unwin who will be teaching mainly in Year 4 alongside Mr Coughlin.

Christmas Poem and Video

In our final assembly we also shared:

A Christmas Poem read by children across the school. Link to Poem
A Christmas Video featuring most of the staff! Link to Christmas Video

Christmas Reading Newsletter

Christmas is always a good time to enjoy reading and Mrs McDowall has shared some suggestions in her newsletter on the website. Reading Newsletter Link

E-safety update

It is impossible to keep up to date with changes in social media, but I always try and share useful advice through the website. Here are a few links which might be worth a quick look.

Attendance

This remains a priority for the school and absence can only be granted in exceptional circumstances. This means that unfortunately the school has been directed to fine some families who have taken holidays or a leave of absence in term time which is not exceptional.

Polite reminder:

Reverend Alex has asked parents to remind children not to walk or climb on grave stones in the churchyard. The whole area is checked monthly, but I would ask that the church grounds are accessed with respect and safety in mind.
Please do not bring dogs onto the playground or school grounds.
