Prayer focus:  Prayer for the sick: Dear God, we place our worries in your hands. We place our sick under your care and humbly ask that you restore your servants to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge your will and know that whatever you do, you do for the love of us. Amen.

A significant accident occured on site at the end of the day on Friday. All staff involved must be commended for their swift actions and exemplary care and communication.
The green gate between C3 and C1 is out of use until action has been taken to prevent reoccurance. However, any of our gates on site are potential to cause the same injury. We will be producing a risk assessment regarding the gates on site. In the meantime, please ensure the following:
1) If you are the staff member to open the black exit gates for dismissal, DO NOT allow pupils past you – hook the gate before dismissing
2) Nursery gate – minimum of 2 staff needed – one goes ahead and stands by the gate until all have gone through whilst the other staff member stays at the front of the line.
More instructions and a thorough risk assessment will follow.

Please do not allow your staff noticeboard to be projected in your classrooms as messages here are for staff only and contain sensitive information – thank you

A call for your private prayers – this week we think of AM (St C) and her family. Her younger brother is having an operation in London, which they hope will be life saving for him. Please be very aware of AM and her fragility when she returns.
Also, please keep governor – Margaret Clemson in your prayers. She has returned to hospital for emergency heart surgery this weekend. Please be aware if you have any of her grandchildren in your classes as this has been a very difficult weekend for them all.
