Letters have gone home today regarding Breakfast Club. This year we have received over 60 requests for places, however, we continue to have only 30 spaces. This will result in a number of families not receiving a space.
As our Breakfast Club staffing is not authority funded but funded using our Pupil Equity Fund this means that spaces are allocated linked to a range of criteria including:
Receiving a place in previous years does not guarantee a space for the coming year. Daily fees of Ā£1 ( currently supplemented to reduce costs to 80p) this covers the authority cost of food only.
If you have received a letter offering your child a space at Breakfast Club for Session 23/24 please return to the school office no later than Wednesday 26th June
We currently have a waiting list for spaces at breakfast club therefore if we donāt receive your letter by this date accepting the place allocated to your child we will assume that the place is no longer required and allocate the space to one of our waiting list children.
Thank you for your support with this.
The children have had a wonderful day at our singalong and dance-along fundraiser for the Martin Chambers Ecudor Trust.
At present we have managed to raise an AMAZING Ā£1129, however if you still have any sponsor money you would like to donate this can be paid via ParentpayĀ
Thankyou to everyone for sponsoring the children and helping to raiseĀ funds for this wonderful charity.
I would just like to say thank you all so much again for giving up your own time yesterday to help at our career day. Without all of your help it wouldnāt have been such a success! The children had a fantastic day learning different information about your job roles as well as having the opportunity to try on and use the equipment that was brought and have the opportunity to see the emergency service vehicles too! Mount Carmel are super grateful for you all and we hope you enjoyed our day too!
Thank you,
Miss Grimley

We had a delicious cake made by the very talented Ann from the kitchen, and enjoyed some party games and dancing.
We were delighted to be joined by Fr.Jim.
We are so proud of the hard work of our wonderful pupils at Mount Carmel for all of their efforts towards making our school more eco friendly. Our Eco Committee have helped to drive forward changes within our school to gain our āHighly Commended Bronze Awardā through the Clean Green initiative as well as our green eco flag. This is only our first year in our eco journey so we are immensely proud of these achievements.
A special mention to Hannah and Sophia (P7), who introduced many eco strategies across the school and Ā monitored their impact. Also, Mrs McGahon, our Eco Champion who has led our Eco Committee and supported our children throughout the year.
Hannah and Sophia attended the Clean Green Awards to collect our award and flag. They had a fantastic day networking with other schools. They enjoyed listening to all the eco friendly changes other schools have made.
Next Thursday 20th June is World of Work Day for the whole school. Children can come to school dressed as they please or as a profession they want to be.
