Dear Parents and Carers,
The last few weeks have been jam packed with the usual end of term events as well as preparing for our Bicentennial celebrations. With luck our final sports days will be completed on Monday, reports have been written and are now being checked and next week we will be finalising classes for September.
Yesterday we held an in school service with all of the staff, children, some governors, visitors from the Diocese and Reverend Alex to celebrate our Bicentennial. The children read out prayers, sang beautifully and I shared some of the history of St. Bridget’s. This was followed by a picnic, in classes due to wet weather. Mrs Roberts delivered cupcakes across the school and she even baked a huge cake for the staff to enjoy. At the end of the day teachers gave out a commemorative mug for each family, with a beautiful design created by one of the parents. We have started filling up our time capsule with pictures, prayers and information. I am hoping to pass this on to the West Kirby Museum for safekeeping and storage. The children of each class have also decorated their classroom doors with events from the last 200 years. They look fantastic and the children have enjoyed this part of our celebrations. The Church bells rang for forty five minutes as part of our celebration. You can view this on our website.Link
Today we started the day with a whole school drone picture which is fantastic. All of the staff and children stood to make the number 200 while one of our former parents expertly piloted the drone to take the picture. The pictures are spectacular and I hope to share them soon but I am just checking a few permissions before I do so.
We also welcomed our local member of parliament, Matthew Patrick, who asked to visit our school. He toured the school, admired our celebrations and asked the children lots of questions. Their replies included concern for the environment and living in a kinder world.
Tomorrow, is our school and Parish Fayre with the addition of some school tours for former pupils. In the school hall we have gathered together information about St. Bridget’s over the last 200 years, which includes historical reports from the Government, pictures of classes/pupils and information about the previous 13 Headteachers. The staff have enjoyed noticing the gradual disappearance of my hairline over the last 16 years as well!
Chess
Good luck to the chess team who are travelling to London to compete in the Chess National Finals. This competition is normally between some select independent schools and has never been attended by a school from the North West. In other words our team are already winners in my eyes and I wish them every success on the weekend.
Well done
Recently, Year 5 have competed in two competitions against other schools. In Basketball, the team played really well, finishing 2nd. In Kwik Cricket, the team won both of their matches, winning the competition. Well done to all of the children who represented our school in either competition.
National Recognition
Well done to Quinn in Class 6 who after several rounds of competition in the USAIGC 2025 World Championships achieved the 2nd in the Beam, 3rd in the Bars, 7th in the Vault and 5th all round in her age category. An incredible achievement after lots of hard work and training.
School Lunches
After recent review and increase in costs we will be increasing the price of School lunches to £2.50 in September. When compared to most other schools this still remains good value for money.
E-Safety
As always I try to keep you updated about different apps and concerns with E-safety. This week I have put information on our website about Nintendo Switch. Link
