Our Emmaus and Diocese Vision
Forming Christ-centred pilgrims of hope with kind hearts, questioning minds, a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for justice

Dear Parents

As we reach the final day of the school term, I wanted to express my thanks to you, parents and families, for all of the support that you provide to us throughout the year. It is so greatly appreciated and valued. Thank you also for the presents and gifts that have been received by our staff; they are certainly not expected but very well received. Thank you.

After a very busy week filled with wonderful Nativity performances and a magnificent Reception Christmas show, we joined together this morning to be led by Father Philip in the end-of-term Christmas Mass. The peace that we all felt at this point, I am sure, was not only needed but also helped us to feel closer to Jesus at this very special time as we prepare to celebrate his birth and second coming. It was a privilege to share this time with our children, staff, parents, families and parishioners.

I wish you all a very happy and holy Christmas and look forward to seeing everyone on January 5th.

Huge congratulations!

This week I learnt that two of our very talented dancers, Darcey and Mathilda, will be representing Team England with their ballet routine at the Dance World Cup in July 2026. We are so proud of the girls – what a fantastic achievement and a testament to their hard work and talent!

PTA News!

Thank you to our wonderful PTA and the local businesses who contributed to our annual Christmas raffle. The amount raised was over £3,200! This will be used towards a very exciting project coming in Spring 2026. Watch this space…
