Back to School!

By Mrs S McHale24th August 2018

WELCOME BACK!

We can’t wait to see you all enjoying your new classrooms and teachers!

A special warm welcome to the new members of the St Michael’s family joining us in Reception and Nursery. We ask for God’s blessing on them and pray that they feel loved and treasured as members of our academy.

Thank you to all of our wonderful parents and carers who always put a great value on school and education.  We hope you have enjoyed a fun summer with your children and are now ready to wave them off on the 4th September! All of the staff have all been very busy over the holidays preparing for the new academic year both in the classrooms and around school.

Children, we know that your family members will have helped you continue using our Gospel values over the summer holiday. For example; treating everyone with respect, being grateful and generous, loving and compassionate. We will help you more with these value this term.

But for the start of term, look forward to being on time and in school every day, praising our Lord in work, play and prayer, wearing the correct uniform and working hard in class (and giggling lots at play times!) so that you develop all those wonderful skills God has blessed you with.

We hope the sun shines in September again for more fun learning!
