It is with great sadness, that I sit and write these words. A much-loved former pupil, Timmy Hindle, sadly passed away last week, aged just thirteen. Timmy is fondly remembered by everyone at St Francis’ and the news weighs heavy on our hearts. Timmy was a quiet, kind and thoughtful boy, who had a wonderful, dry sense of humour. He loved the outdoors and was well-liked by both staff and his peers. A small memorial garden will be created at school and will be named in his memory. All the staff and pupils at St Francis’ send their thoughts, love and condolences to Timmy’s family and friends.

In our prayers always,

Mr Gilmour and the St. Francis family
