Weekly Newsletter - 18th July 2025
“Excellent attendance is vital for children to flourish and achieve”
It seems only weeks ago I was writing last year’s final newsletter. I would like to thank all of you for your continued support and commitment to St Bart’s. No school is perfect and we know sometimes things can go wrong but we do our very best to make sure any issues are dealt with quickly and I would like to thank the staff for doing the best to make sure the children are happy and safe and well educated. It has been another busy but fantastic year with too many great things to mention in one newsletter but check out our website and social media for what’s being going on, St Bart’s definitely does have talent!
We hope you all have a lovely summer and enjoy time with your family and friends. We look forward to welcoming you back on Monday 1st September.
Something Mrs Wainwright has enjoyed this week was the best Leavers Service I have seen in church, it was lovely. Well done to the children and staff who worked so hard preparing it and thank you to those of you who attended.
In September you will receive a Quick Guide for your children’s new year groups which will have all the important information and you will be invited in to see where they will be and to meet the teachers.
This is on Tuesday 9th September where you can come between 3.30 and 4.30pm.
REMINDERS
- ATTENDANCE is vital if your children are to flourish and do their best. They need to be in school on time, every day unless too ill to be here. We do not authorise holidays in term time and if you take them it will affect your child’s place in BC/ASC and holiday activities. Only absences in exceptional circumstances will be authorised and only when discussed with Mrs Wainwright in advance and the requested information is provided – this is Leeds policy.
- Contacting us over summer – if you need to contact school over summer there will be staff working at times who may be able to respond to general enquiries when they are in, so if you leave a message someone will get back to you or if you email the office at; info@stbartsleeds.org.uk . You can also contact me, Mrs Wainwright on my email; headteacher@stbartsleeds.org.uk I may not respond straight away but I will get back to you as soon as I can.
