Little Way Week
Fri 04 Oct 2024This week our pupils have been celebrating the life of our patron, St Therese of Liseux. She is the patron saint of Mission, which means sharing God's life and love with everyone by loving and caring, just like Jesus. She dedicated her life to finding ways to get to heaven - little by little. This is what Therese called her Little Way. Therese made a commitment to do her small everyday tasks with great love. Our children spent time crafting for a joint display and were tasked with thinking about a couple of things they could do this week to follow in St Therese's little way. Little Acts, Great Love, Big Difference. Watch our video to find out more.

There will be a variety of fun stalls and games available for children to enjoy and even an opportunity to soak Mr Barnes! We would really appreciate it if you would support the children in their small businesses and send your child into school tomorrow with a small amount of money to spend on the stalls and games. Most games cost 50p a go. Please send children with small change (10p, 50p, 20p etc) tomorrow (Thursday). A proportion of the profits will be given to The Door- a local charity supporting vulnerable young people in Stroud, chosen by the Year 6 pupils.

Y6 Leavers Hoodies
Fri 19 Apr 2024Leavers Hoodies 2024
Please follow this link to order your child’s school Leavers Hoodie: https://rosarycatholicprimaryschool.deco-apparel.com/shop
The deadline for ordering is TUESDAY 7th MAY. Once the online shop has closed, you will not be able to order a hoodie.
You can choose a child or adult size and we would recommend buying a larger size than their usual, so they have room to grow into it. Some schools restrict the colours their pupils’ can order, but we are happy to allow pupils to express themselves, so they are welcome to choose whichever colour they’d like from the wide range available. If you would like to add your child’s name or a nickname to the back of the hoodie, please enter this in the box.
Please select FREE shipping. All hoodies will be delivered to school mid-May and handed out to the pupils.
We are happy for pupils to wear their hoodies in school after the Summer half term, on PE and Fitness Friday/Forest School days only.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office or Mrs Forward-Davies.
Please note: currently the Kids page of the online shop is not working properly. It is being fixed!

World Book Day -Thursday 7 March 2024
Mon 12 Feb 2024Once again, we are inviting the children to dress up for World Book Day, however, this year we are doing things a bit differently. We would like the children to choose a WORD to dress up as. This can be as simple or flamboyant as you wish to be! There is no need to buy any expensive costumes, please just use things you already have to hand at home! Your child could come “colourful” or as a specific colour. They could be fluorescent or camouflage. They could be spotty or stripy. S/he could be a hero and dress up as brave or be covered in stars to be magic. They could come as an animal or even the weather! A simple search online will reveal a wealth of ideas to help inspire you. The school staff are preparing for another “Masked Reader” video and a new and exciting competition will be launched after half term that we are looking forward to revealing to you! We cannot wait to see your children’s outfits on Thursday 7th March! Many thanks, Mrs Phillips (Early Reading Lead) and Mrs Forward-Davies (Writing and KS2 Reading Lead)
