Weekly Newsletter - 11th September 2026

“Excellent attendance is vital for children to flourish and achieve”

Our Vision relates to the parable of ‘The Lost Sheep’ and we do not want any child or adult to be left behind, we all work together and respect everyone.  We believe all our children can flourish and achieve their potential to enable them to succeed in the future.

Something Mrs Wainwright has enjoyed this week was seeing how well our new reception children have settled.

Worship – Our current theme is generosity and this week we have been thinking about the different ways we can be generous. We have also discussed our attribute, ‘ambition’ which is a great one to start the new school year when children can think about what they hope to achieve this year.

The St Bart’s way – It is fantastic to see the children showing how they can move round school safely, following the St Bart’s way.

British Values – we reflected on how being generous is not only respectful but also is a choice we make.
                                
URGENT - WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL AND THIS INCLUDES ANY SPREADS THAT CONTAIN NUTS.  THIS IS VITAL AS WE HAVE CHILDREN IN SCHOOL WITH SEVERE ALLERGIES.

Quick Guides – This week we are emailing all the guides for each year group. These contain important and useful information.  If you have any questions, please ask or you can email.

Macmillan Coffee Morning – We are having a coffee morning on Friday 25th September for parents and carers.  It will be open at 8.50am. More details to follow. 

REMINDERS

  • Meet the Teacher – On Tuesday 15th of September between 3.30 and 4.40pm
  • Jewellery – Children should not wear jewellery to school and if they do have earrings, they must be small studs. For PE, they should leave them at home or be able to take them out themselves, we will use tape if necessary. If they take part in any sports activity out of school, they are not allowed to wear them. There have been in some schools in Leeds some serious incidents where children have suffered serious injury due to earrings both at break times and during PE/sports activities. Other jewellery can be lost or broken and this can be very upsetting. Thank you for your support with this.
  • Lost Clothes – we already have children with lost clothes or clothes we cannot find the owner of. Please label coats, jumpers and cardigans or ask us as we are happy to help.  Thank you.
