Summertime

Next week sees the end of the academic year and so begins the school holidays – hooray! Let’s hope for a calm and restful time for all who have worked so hard this past year, teachers, pupils, governors, and support staff alike. 
  

Our thoughts and prayers especially with those of you awaiting exam results intending to move onto a new chapter in your lives. Be assured of our support and pride in you no matter.

To Mr Hallett, headteacher at St Joseph’s, our gratitude and thanks to you and all the team. And this year an especial word of recognition to Mr Mitchell, headteacher of St Andrews, who is retiring from his current role. Mr Mitchell has shown outstanding leadership, energy and vision amongst us in supporting Catholic education and our young people to achieve their potential. We thank him and his team wishing Mr Mitchell well for the new adventures and horizons his gifts will undoubtably lead him. To Mr Brooks our new head at St Andrews our gratitude and whole hearted support as you take up your new role. 

To all a wonderful holiday – whether staycating or flying off to exotic locations these weeks are a time, if we can, to relax, breathe, read a good novel and ‘simply be’. Parish life continues as ever so do take the opportunity to come to weekday Mass, take up some spiritual reading, or find some quiet and space to think and reflect   taking in the view.  God can be found as much in the rest as in the work. 
 

Happy Holidays and God Bless

Canon Bill, Fr Simon, and Fr Gary
