St Catherine’s Catholic Primary School

Good morning, Last week, Swindon Borough Council contacted every school in Swindon to inform them that they have changed the school holidays for this coming year, 2021 to 2022. They wanted to align Swindon’s school holidays with Wiltshire's school holidays. We all recognise this is very late! As a result, and in line with the other schools, our February half term and Easter holidays for 2022 have changed. I recognise that this may affect some of our families. If you need to discuss this, then please contact the office. Please find the new term dates attached. Thank you, Miss Burke

Please find attached the newsletter for 30th April 2021.

Please see the attached letter about a non-school uniform day on Friday 7th May. Thank you. Miss Burke

Please find attached all of the information you should need for next week's reopening. Don't forget to book Breakfast Club and school lunches by Friday 5th March if your child needs them next week.

Good morning, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your ongoing support over the last term. None of us wanted to be back in a position where school was only open to a few and yet we have continued to work through this as a community and the parental support during this time has meant a great deal to staff. Hopefully, when we return after half-term, the Government will have decided on the next steps for schools and we will be able to tell you what Term 4 is going to look like. We will be in touch as soon as we are able to about arrangements moving forwards. In the meantime, for at least the two weeks following half-term, school will still be open for those children who presently have a place and online learning and Teams sessions will resume on 22nd February for those currently learning at home. The other thing I would like to thank all of you for is your diligence in ensuring that no child has come to school displaying any symptoms. Thank you for making sure that you are isolating and testing whenever necessary and for helping to keep all of our community as safe as possible. Please do inform me at sburke@stcatherines.swindon.sch.uk if your child tests positive over the half-term break so that we can work with Track and Trace. We hope that you and your families enjoy the break from home schooling and that you all stay safe over half-term. With a little bit of luck, the weather will at least be good enough for you to be able to enjoy some walks outside. I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish those of you in our Chinese community a very Happy New Year. Take care, Miss Burke
