Our Social Media Platforms:

and our school website - https://www.ourlady-saintedwards.co.uk/
We are writing to explain why we need to ask you for your consent to any photographs of your child while at school.
Generally, photographs for school are a source of pleasure and pride for children and young people, and their families, and so are to be welcomed. Children love to have their work / homework / achievements uploaded to our website and social media, and the response from parents is fantastic.
As a school, we will never publish a photograph with a child’s full name (we will never include a surname).
❗️❗️ IMPORTANT - PLEASE BE AWARE THAT UNLESS PARENTS OR CARERS ADVISE OTHERWISE, (BY EMAILING THE SCHOOL OFFICE AT [email protected]) WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE ANY PERMISSION GRANTED PREVIOUSLY, FOR PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS UPLOADED TO OUR WEBSITE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND OUR BRAND NEW INSTAGRAM PAGE ❗️❗️
• The permission granted by parents or carers is valid for the duration your child remains at Our Lady and St. Edward’s Catholic Primary School.
• It is your responsibility to let us know if you want to withdraw or change your agreement at any time.
• We, the school, will not use the personal details or full names (which means first name and surname) of any child in a photographic image on video, on our website, in our school prospectus or in any of our other printed publications.
• We may include pictures of pupils and teachers that have been drawn by the pupils.
• We may include, if selected, work from pupils.
• We may use group or class photographs or footage with very general labels, such as “Y6 science lesson” or “F2 making Christmas decorations”.
• We will only use images of pupils who are suitably dressed, to reduce the risk of such images being used inappropriately. This may include suitable PE kit e.g. T-shirts and jogging bottoms, or football kits, but will not include unsuitable PE kit e.g. leotards or swimwear.
Many thanks for your cooperation, as always 👍😀😃

First Holy Communion, by Mrs Harris
Date: 22nd Apr 2024 @ 10:15pm
One of the most important events in a young Catholic’s life is his or her First Holy Communion. To go along with this special occasion of receiving Jesus for the first time in the Eucharist, girls wear a pretty new white dress and boys wear a new suit or shirt and trousers with a tie.
While First Communion outfits are sometimes passed down to younger siblings in families, others are kept for sentimental value but often get forgotten and are stored in a wardrobe where they collect dust. Many of our families have kindly found a place for these outfits which have sentimental value, by donating to our school to be used for a child receiving their First Communion. The wonderful donations allows children and their families to not worry about an outfit and focus on the Sacrament.
Please do get in touch with Leanne at [email protected] or WhatsApp/call her confidentially on 07544865763 should you wish to borrow any items for your child's Holy Communion, this can be arranged confidentially

Earth Day 2024 - 22 April, by Mrs Harris
Date: 21st Apr 2024 @ 9:40pm
Earth Day 2024
🌎 Earth Day is marked on 22 April each year. The very first Earth Day was held in the USA in 1970, in response to a spill from an oil tanker. It has since grown to become and global event, during which as many as 1 billion people around the world mark the need for action on the environment and living sustainably
🌎 The theme for Earth Day 2024 is 'Planet vs. Plastics'
🌎 To celebrate Earth Day, we will take part in activities to encourage us all to think and learn about what we can do to look after our planet
Small steps to help save our planet:
🌎 reduce use of plastic and avoid single-use plastic
🌎 walk or cycle to school if possible
🌎 recycle
🌎 turn off lights when not in use
🌎 use less water
I'll upload some photos of how we learned to help by the end of the week 👍
