Reading for Good!!!, by Mrs Harris
Date: 21st May 2022 @ 8:50pm
"Join the Reading for Good reading adventures!!!
Read for Good motivates children to read for fun because we know that loving reading changes lives.
Our regular supply of beautiful, brand-new books and visits from professional storytellers, offer children in hospital the chance to escape to other worlds in their imagination.
Children in schools are motivated to read using our free Readathon kits, which encourage them to choose whatever they like to read – from comics to classics, and audio books to blogs – all whilst raising money to get books to children in hospital, and books for their school"

On 3 March 2022 we will be celebrating World Book Day. Children may come to school dressed as a character from a book. If they do not wish to dress up as a character, they must wear their school uniform. Children can also bring in their favourite book or prop from a book. The children will participate in a range of fun activities throughout the day including a ‘design your own book cover’ competition.

March 2021 - Return to School, by Mrs Harris
Date: 12th Mar 2021 @ 12:22pm
Dear Parents and Carers
A very warm ‘Welcome Back to School.’ It has been so lovely to see all the children and families return to school after months in lockdown.
The children settled in well and were happy to see their friends and teachers. We are looking forward to supporting our children for the remainder of the academic year and enabling each pupil to reach their full potential.
We need to ensure we are all still following government guidelines and I would like to remind parents that masks must be worn on school premises at all times. If you are exempt, please indicate this to staff.
We have heard children sharing news that they have been to each other’s houses for tea and to play. Please can I remind parents that this is not yet allowed and households are not permitted to mix. We really need to work together to ensure we are still preventing the risk of infection across the community so that we can have a safe lifting and easing of restrictions. I know we are all looking forward to a summer when we can all see our families and friends again and enjoy life as it was before Covid-19!!!
We are really looking forward to being able to share events in school as rules are relaxed and guidance allows us to widen our activities.
I have attached an overview of the key dates and easing of restrictions so I hope this is helpful.
If you have any concerns or queries, please contact the school office.
Take care and keep safe.
Chess Tournament with CSC (Chess in Schools and Communities) on Saturday 30 November 2019, by Mrs Harris
Date: 2nd Dec 2019 @ 11:38am
Our lady and St. Edwards Catholic Primary School were fortunate enough to be asked to host the Chess in Schools and Communities chess tournament on Saturday 30 November 2019.
The tournament was very well attended and all the young people who took part had an opportunity to practice the skills they had been learning in school.
The standard was incredibly high and there were many closely fought contests!!!
As observers it was a privilege to watch the children demonstrate such resilience and ability.
Well done to everyone who took part ♟♟♟

Wonderful news from a Royal Visit on-looker, by Walker
Date: 21st Jan 2019 @ 3:57pm
Following the royal visit we were delighted to receive an email from a member of the public. She was stood behind our pupils and commented on how well behaved they all were whilst waiting in the cold for the royal visitors. It was a lovely thought and we thank the lady who took time to write to our school and congratulate the children on their excellent behaviour. She enclosed the following wonderful pictures of our pupils.
