HEAD TEACHER’S WEEKLY UPDATE

📚 ANOTHER POSITIVE WEEK

We received brand new football strips which can be used in all sporting events. The strips have been specially designed by David our coach and Joshua Cappie, the sponsor of our strips. Both men have worked hard to create these amazing strips. They have the school colours black and red and of course the fabulous school badge.
Joshua is a former pupil here at St Bartholomew’s and remembers his time fondly at our school. Joshua has gone on to run his own family business with his dad, and we are so proud of him.
We appreciate Joshua sponsoring our new strips and to David who carried out the printing.  A huge thank you from everyone in the St Bartholomew’s family.
