Parental Engagement | St Bridget's Primary and Early Years Class

Welcome back to the Summer Term.  We hope you had a lovely holiday!

Please enjoy our informative newsletter.  It includes news on curriculum workshops, courses, and events in school and the wider community.

Don't forget to regularly visit our parents section on our website here, which we update with all upcoming events and information.

Workshops and Events in School

Has your child got an interest, skill or talent that they could share with the school?! We would love to see it in our Talent Show this year.  

Help your child to prepare for the auditions which will be held in the second week back after the holidays.  They can sing, dance, do magic, play an instrument, recite poetry, do acrobatics - or any other talent they want to celebrate with us. 

We can't wait to see them!
