We'd just like to wish all of our staff, pupils and families a happy summer holidays! We hope you have a lovely break and look forward to seeing you in September.

"Thank You, Lord, for the times of refreshment and opportunities to go away on a holiday, so that we may be renewed in body soul and spirit. And Lord, we particularly thank Your for this lovely summer holiday time, and pray that You would be with us as we spend time away from the hustle and bustle of the work-a-day week and take time to rest awhile.

Lord, it was You Who reminded Your own disciples that they needed to times of refreshment and from the stresses and strains of the day, and we thank You for this opportunity to enjoy different and new experiences. May our time away be one of warmth and love and filled with fun and fellowship. May our hearts overflow with Your joy and peace and may we fill our lungs with laughter.

Watch over our journey as we travel and protect us from all difficulties and dangers. May we rest in You and return refreshed in body soul and spirit to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we pray,

Amen."

Clive Mark Schoolwear are acutely aware of the cost-of-living crisis that is impacting parents during these difficult times.

With this in mind, they have put together the attached offer, to allow all parents to get 25% off their blouses and shirts that they need to buy, alongside the purchase of a blazer.

Their blouses and shirts are very hardwearing, and designed for the rigours of being worn day to day in school.
