We’ve arrived not only at the last week of term, but the final week of the year. Where does the time go?!!

We’ll be busy today with final preparations for tomorrow’s Leavers’ Mass and Prize Giving. The Mass begins at 1.30pm prompt and will be immediately followed by the P7 Prize Giving. We look forward to welcoming the parents, carers, families and friends of our P7 pupils at tomorrow’s special event.

It was a real pleasure reading the children’s report cards over the past couple of weeks. These were sent home on Friday and I hope each and every parent was as delighted as I was reading about the progress and achievements of their child. St Bart’s pupils really are a fantastic bunch!

Our final Tea with Mr Young takes place today, with a total of 24 Pupils of the Week enjoying some time away from the classroom as a reward for their outstanding work and behaviour. Well done to you all!

Finally, Mrs McConnell (PT English) and Mrs Timmons (PT Maths) from St Ambrose High School had a great visit to St Bartholomew’s on Friday and left the following comment on our website:

‘Mrs McConnell and Mrs Timmons thoroughly enjoyed visiting P7 today. What fantastic boys and girls! Looking forward to seeing you in August.’
