On this final day of term, I’d like to take the opportunity to thank all pupils and staff for their phenomenal hard work since the October holidays. You only need to look back through the October, November and December blog entries to see how much has been squeezed into this term. Well done, everyone!… WHAT A TEAM! Please can I also thank parents, carers, parishioners and friends for supporting our various events. It’s very much appreciated.

On behalf of the whole St Bartholomew’s team, have a very
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

School reopens on Monday 6th January… See you in 2014!

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. Today, in the town of David, a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly, a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests.” (Luke 2: 10 – 14)
