Headteacher’s Newsletter

 

Dear Parents,

As we reach the end of another school year, I want to express my thanks for your unwavering support and involvement.

Thank you for your active participation in school events, your partnership with staff, and for helping to foster a strong sense of community.

A special thank you to the families whose time at St Vincent’s comes to an end this year. Your contributions have helped shape our school. You will always be part of the St Vincent’s story and St Vincent family.

Our Community

St Vincent’s is a special place, and that’s because of the partnership we share in supporting our children. This year has been filled with teamwork, spirit, and mutual support, and I’m grateful to everyone who helps make our school a happy and nurturing environment.

Parish of St Vincent’s and Holy Angels

We extend our sincere thanks to Canon Jonathan, Father Matthew, and Father Godlove for their spiritual guidance and weekly visits. Their support in preparing our children for their Sacraments and their involvement in religious education has been invaluable.

Board of Governors

Thank you to our Board of Governors for their continued commitment to ensuring that St Vincent’s School, Nursery, and Sunshine Club remain the best. Their dedication is deeply appreciated.

Yesterday, you received the Chair of Governors’ End-of-Year Letter, which reflects on our journey, achievements, and successes throughout the year. If you haven’t yet read it, you can access it here: Governors' Letter 2025

Our Children

As always, our children have let their light shine brightly. Their enthusiasm, effort, and kindness have made us proud every day. We especially wish our Year 6 pupils all the best as they move on to secondary school. We will miss them, but we know they are ready for the exciting journey ahead.

Our Staff

At St Vincent’s we have a team of highly skilled and dedicated staff. From teachers and teaching assistants to office and site staff, each person plays a vital role in making our school a special place. Thank you for your unwavering commitment and care.

PTA

A huge thank you to our PTA and all parents who have supported events throughout the year. Your efforts have helped fund school projects and provide special treats for the children. Tuesdays visit from the ice cream van was a joyful way to celebrate the end of term, thank you to the PTA for making it happen!

Attendance Reminder

Please ensure children are back in school from the first day of the autumn term. It’s important that holidays are planned outside of term time. You can find our term dates here: St Vincent’s Term Dates   ST VINCENT’S CATHOLIC PPRIMARY SCHOOL

We finish today for the summer break.

  • Years 1 to 6 return on Wednesday 3 September
  • Reception start on Thursday 4 September

Thank you once again for your continued support. I wish you all a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer. We look forward to welcoming you back in September for another exciting year at St Vincent’s.

Warm regards,

Mrs Harrop
