Primary 7 did themselves proud at their Leavers’ Mass and Prize Giving yesterday. There were certainly a few tears around the hall! Many thanks, once again, to Mark and Lucy Millar for taking the time to attend and for donating the prizes. Your ongoing friendship and support is VERY much appreciated. Thanks too to Karen and Bruce from ‘Curriculo Solutions’ for being there to support the children. Of course, special thanks need to go to parents, carers, family and friends for turning up in such great numbers to give the children a fitting send-off.

After all the ceremony of the afternoon, the children let their hair down in the evening at their beach party. It really was a great get-together!

We say goodbye today to Mrs Polsinelli and Miss Jackson. Many thanks to both of you for all your hard work, and all the very best in your new schools.

So, we reach the end of another jam-packed year. Please can I take this opportunity to thank the fantastic St Bartholomew’s team for working so tirelessly throughout the year for the children. You deserve a well-earned rest over the summer holidays! Many thanks too to parents, carers, parishioners and friends for all your support; I’m extremely grateful for all you do for St Bart’s. Thank you! But, of course, my biggest vote of thanks goes to our WONDERFUL pupils who make St Bartholomew’s the friendly, vibrant school community it is. Have a fantastic summer holiday, boys and girls, and see you on Tuesday 18th August!….

LET THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS BEGIN!
