It was lovely to see all of our pupils back where they belong today – at St Bartholomew’s! I know that many of our pupils took full adavantage of the inclement weather and had great fun in the snow. The vast majority of our children were certainly ready to immerse themselves in school life and enjoyed getting back to a routine.

Please be advised that World Book Day will be rescheduled for Friday, 9th March. Children are invited to come to school dressed as their favourite character from a book. We will have a ‘readathon’ in the morning and a special assembly to allow children the opportunity to show all of our pupils, their wonderful costumes. There will be a prize for the best costume in each class. We are all looking forward to sharing in these fantastic creations.

Our loyal group of parent volunteers who regularly fundraise and organise events, such as disco’s etc have decided to organise an Easter Bonnet competition, where monies raised will be donated to Lenten charities. I will keep you posted on when this event will take place. I can say that it will take a similar format to that of the Christmas plates competition. Thank you for organising this ladies- your continued support is much appreciated.
