Congratulations to Miss Topping and all of the staff and children on being awarded the sliver level of the History Quality Mark. This is a great achievement for the school and is well deserved.

The Historical Association Quality Mark is an award that recognises the excellence of history provision and teaching in school. 

Well done everyone !

 

Today we celebrated our feast day (slightly early), Fr Richard said mass for pupils, staff and parishioners. The children sang hymns to Our Lady as we remembered the feast of the Immaculate Conception and how Mary, our mother, is an example to us all. We would like to wish all the members of our school community a very happy feast day! 

Today our girls football team played their third league match of the season against Our Lady’s Bishop Eton. The girls had won their first 2 games and were very excited to be playing. The match took place at Heron Eccles, the first match we’ve played on the new astroturf pitches there!

We could tell from the beginning that the game would be tough, OLBE were a very strong team with an exceptional number 7 who scored a long range effort very early on. The girls put up a brave defense but weren’t having many shots themselves. A penalty from Shelby was saved onto the post and the half ended 2-0!

OLBE’s number 7 continued to dictate the match, but that helped our keeper Paige to shine. She pulled off some stunning saves and even continued to play through injury. Another highlight of the game was the bravery in tackling shown especially by Mayar and Maria. Aaliyah hit the post in the second half and Sophie had an excellent long-range effort, but OLBE maintained their clean sheet. Their winger added a 3rd and 4th goal before assisting a 5th late on. The game ended 0-5.

The girls rallied together in defeat and didn’t sulk, looking forward instead to their cup game in 3 weeks time. Congratulations to OLBE for an excellent display and again thanks to KMC sports for arranging.

POTM: Paige Taylor. Bravery, commitment and playing in spite of fogetting her football boots!

We are very pleased to announce that we have been awarded with the Silver Anti Bullying Quality Mark! Our assessment day was a day of celebration, where the assessor spoke to children, parents and staff. He was delighted to see how much we had progressed from our bronze award in 2015. We are very proud of this achievement!

We are looking forward to wearing our odd socks on Friday to celebrate and show our support for individuality!

Our Year 6 children have started their programme on GetAwayNGetSafe (Gangs safety programme). This has been a really successful programme in our school in the past and we are looking forward to seeing the impact on our current year 6 children.

We have started our ‘Anti Bullying Week’ with a brilliant and informative assembly on being cyber safe, this was presented by our digital leaders. The message was very clear. Well Done! I am looking forward to see what else this important week brings.

Nine of our children from years 5 and 6 were treated to a fantastic day out at the Liverpool vs Cardiff match at Anfield yesterday. This was part of the @red-neighbours free ticket initiative for schools. All of the children chosen had excellent school attendance last term. 

Not only did they see a fantastic match, but they were fortunate enough to meet the players before the game. What an incredible experience for them …….and Mr Cotton and Mrs Burns who gave up their time to accompany the group. Mr Cotton still can’t believe that he shook Jurgen Klopp’s hand 🙂

I think this is a day they will all remember for a long time . Thank you to  “Red Neighbours” for making the day such a special one for the children .

 

Don’t forget that our After School providers run a holiday club during half term. Everton Kids Club are located in school and are open Monday to Friday for children from across the city. Today the children are accessing our extensive grounds and making full use of our outdoor facilities. 

Looks fab fun today! 

Miss Hughes is claiming a school residential record as ALL children were asleep by 10pm last night, They slept soundly and are now fed and watered, packed and off for their first activity of the day! Washing machines at the ready parents, your princes and princesses will be back soon! 

Miss Hughes and the staff have said that the children have had a great day today and the weather has been beautiful. When we spoke earlier the children were all tucked up in bed.
