Dear Parents/Carers,
We started this week with the school photographs which is always an exciting occasion. We just managed to have all of the photos finished in time for lunch. As usual the photos are ordered directly from the photographers and normally take a few weeks. Year 4 have visited the cinema in New Brighton while in reception all of the parents have had the opportunity to visit their child’s class and see learning in action. As well as this we have had visiting teachers looking at how we teach maths and myself and Mrs Ross were asked to take part in a podcast about mastery maths teaching. Just another busy week at St. Bridget’s.
Staffing update
As previously shared Mr Neal is being seconded to be the Headteacher at St. Andrew’s CE Primary, Bebington, in January. I am pleased to share that Mrs Unwin will be covering Mr Neal’s class teacher duties from January. Mrs Unwin knows our school well and is working in Year 2 up until Christmas.
Parent’s Evening
Parent’s meetings have been rescheduled for next week and I can see that most parents have signed up online. Please contact the school office if you need help signing up.

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.
