Curriculum Design – Parent/Carer Survey
At Mount Carmel we are currently thinking about how our curriculum should develop. This is your chance to put forward your views on what we do next.
Please take some time to share your views below:
School Easter Raffle
Our school Easter Raffle is now live on Parentpay! Tickets are £1 per strip of 5. The raffle will be drawn on in school on the last day of term – Thursday 2nd April.Â
Good Luck everyone!
Summer Show 2026
Today we revealed our brand‑new Summer Show for 2026…
Turn up the Volume: From vinyl to viral. A journey through the musical decades.Â
While it may have taken a few people by surprise, the excitement quickly grew as we shared our new approach: there will be no single ‘principal’ role this year.
The show has been designed so every pupil who wants to take part gets the chance to shine, with opportunities for all to showcase their talents on stage.
A full information letter for parents and carers will be sent out on Monday with all the details about the show and how pupils can get involved.
We’re looking forward to an inclusive, creative, and memorable Summer Show 2026! 🌟

A great big thank you to Tesco for the blue token grant as well as our wonderful parent council for their ongoing support with this project. It is going to be a wonderful area for our children to use and enjoy. 
Great Big Plastic Count – 9th -13th March
Next week, our school is taking part in the ‘Great Big Plastic Count’.
Our aim is to have litter free lunchboxes and no plastic in school. Please look at our mini podcast in the link above to see why we need to make some changes for our future.
UNCRCÂ Article 6 & Article 24
*Video Podcast from Eco Group above*
Please support your child and our school by trying to adopt more waste -free options in lunchboxes this week and for snacks. Use refillable water bottles instead of bought plastic ones. Our Eco committee has come up with some ideas to help you below –
Morning snack ideas –  fruit, raisins box, chocolate bar, reusable container with chopped fruit/cheese/cucumber, popcorn, home baking/biscuits or products with recyclable packaging.
Waste-Free Lunchbox ideas- 
World Book Day 5/3
World Book Day this year takes place on Thursday 5th March. Children can come to school dressed as a character from their favourite book or if they would rather they can come in their own clothes. Children can also bring their favourite book to school to share with others. We will also complete World Book Day activities in class.
We politely request a £1 cash donation for SCIAF. Children can bring this on the day.
Thank you
