I will be visiting Fr Doherty, who , as you know, has recently retired as our Parish Priest from St Bartholomew’s RC Church. Pupils representing our upper school, will come along with me to pay him a visit. We will also be armed with the beautiful cards that all of our pupils have made for him, to mark his retirement. The boys and girls will also present Fr Doherty with a gift, as a token of our appreciation for all of his years of service. I have it on good authority that Fr Doherty is very well settled in his new home and we are all looking  forward to visiting him later on this afternoon.

Again, this is a wonderful opportunity for our senior pupils to represent the school and in true curriculum for excellence fashion,be ‘responsible citizens’. Thank you boys and girls.

This has been a very busy first week back and thank you to all of our staff and pupils, who have worked incredibly hard. I hope that you all enjoy a restful and well deserved weekend.

Mrs Bolland
