Dear Parents,

As the school year draws to a close, I want to extend my gratitude to you for your unwavering support and involvement throughout the year. Your dedication to your children's education and well-being has been truly remarkable and has greatly contributed to a positive year.

Thank you for your active participation in school events, your cooperation with teachers and staff, and for fostering a strong sense of community. Your commitment to your children's success is evident in their achievements and growth, both academically and personally.

I especially thank those families who will finish their time at St Vincent’s as their last child leaves St Vincent’s and I wish them the very best for the future.

The St Vincent community is very special. We have shown a true partnership in supporting our children. We could not have achieved what we have without our team spirit and support for each other. As we approach the end of the school year, in addition to all parents, I would like to thank those who also help to make St Vincent’s a happy and productive place to learn.

Parish of St Vincent’s and Holy Angels

Thank you to Canon Jonathan, Father Tom and Father Godlove for celebrating mass with us. They have worked closely with us to ensure our children have been prepared to receive their Sacraments. They have also come to school each week to help support the teaching of the Catholic faith during religious education lessons.

Board of Governors

I would like to thank the board of Governors for their support in ensuring St Vincent’s School, Nursery and Sunshine Club remain the best they can be. We are grateful for their continued commitment and dedication to St Vincent’s.

Last week you will have received the end of year letter from Mrs Donnachie; Chair of the Board of Governors. The letter refers to our journey and our achievements and successes this year. If you haven’t read it already, please do take the time to read it. https://www.stvincents.trafford.sch.uk/page/governors-letters/6185

Children

As ever, our children have let their light shine at every opportunity. I want to thank them for all of the effort they put into their work and for being wonderful citizens.

We especially wish Year 6 well for Year 7. We will miss all of the children, but we know they are ready to embrace the opportunities they will have at secondary school.

Staff

We have highly skilled staff at St Vincent’s. The teachers, teaching assistants, office staff and site staff are dedicated to our school, and this is what makes us an extra special community. I would like to thank all staff for their unwavering commitment to our school.

PTA

Thank you to everyone who has helped arrange our PTA events and for parents who attended events. The PTA have worked hard to raise money to fund school projects and special treats for the children and we are also grateful for the parental support in these events.

Attendance

It is very important that children are back from their travels and activities before the autumn term starts. Please ensure that all children are in school from the first day of term.

Years 1 to Year 6 return to school on Tuesday 3 September

Reception children will start school on Wednesday 4 September
