THE CHILDREN, PARENTS, CARERS, TEACHERS AND FAMILIES OF ST.FRANCIS HAVE MANAGED TO RAISE £731 FOR THE NSPCC! THIS WILL HELP THE NSPCC ANSWER 146 CHILDLINE PHONE CALLS FROM CHILDREN WHO NEED URGENT HELP AND SUPPORT. WE HAD AN INCREDIBLY FUN NUMBER DAY 2 WEEKS AGO, ALONG WITH AN IMPRESSIVE CAKE SALE TO RAISE THE MONEY. FOR SUCH A SMALL SCHOOL THIS IS A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF MONEY, IT IS THE LARGEST SINGLE AMOUNT OF MONEY ST. FRANCIS HAVE MANAGED TO RAISE FOR A CHARITY. JO, FROM THE NSPCC WAS INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED WITH OUR SCHOOL IN BEING ABLE TO RAISE SO MUCH MONEY. HAVING SPENT A DAY WITH THE CHILDREN, SHE COMMENTED ON WHAT A LOVELY, CARING, NURTURING SCHOOL WE ARE.  WE HAD A SPECIAL ASSEMBLY THIS MORNING, WHERE THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY WAS REVEALED BY THE CHILDREN! THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE CHILDREN IN RAISING THIS MONEY FOR THE NSPCC. FOR THE CHILDREN - LEARNING TO SUPPORT OTHERS IN NEED, AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE,  IS AN INCREDIBLE ATTRIBUTE TO HAVE FOR THEIR  FUTURES. 

What a super week we have had. Looking through our website media library has highlighted just how busy we are.

It was the first week of hearing Reception Class readers on a Friday and I can’t believe how confident the children are. With super phonic knowledge and excellent word recognition and blending skills, the children made me smile-as they always do. Well done Reception Class-keep it up. There are so many special reading areas around school and reading is all about enjoyment. In Reception Class, you will find a mixture of books in all areas of the classroom. I had to smile when I went into the classroom yesterday and saw a variety of travel magazines on the reading sofa-even I had to stop and look at the trips to Disneyland!
