Prayer focus: This week, again we focus on the first part of The Jubilee Prayer (KS2), the Guardian Angel at KS1 and Our Father for EYFS :
Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
Amen

Due to Site Risk assessments we have to change our arrangements for breaks moving forwards. This affects KS2 only.
All pupils/classes will need to go onto UKS2 for their break as a minimum of 2 adults need to be present. Please make these changes from this week. We are aware that this will change breaktime dynamics for both KS2 phases- please be vigilant to this. UKS2 already have these arrangements for lunchtime. Many thanks.
