School's
Out for Summer !
Monday 9th Leavers' Mass 10 am
Tuesday 10th last day of school before Summer holidays
On Monday we will say 'Good-bye' to a number of Staff who will be leaving
St Richard's School.
-
We
say a sad farewell to Mrs Ellams who is leaving full time teaching
to re-focus and possibly redirect her energies after nearly 25 years
at St Richard's School. Many students will be very grateful to her
for her dedication and commitment to the school and the teaching profession
over this time. Her long service has helped greatly towards a sense
of family and feeling of security that is essential within a school.
We all wish her the very best for the future.
-
Miss Symm, our Y5 teacher is also leaving this year to take up Law
and has been with us for 6 years and seen us through two Ofsted Inspections.
We wish her well in her new career.
-
Pauline
McIntyre our 'NNEB', leaves to study for a Degree in Social Work.
We thank her for her great support and care of our children, and hope
she enjoys her student days.
-
Congratulations
to Anne-Marie Harrison, a classroom assistant, for the successful
completion of her OU Degree and her recent appointment as a Lay Chaplain
to De la Salle School in St Helens.
-
Finally we thank Lowri Taylor for her work in the past 12 months and
wish her a glorious Wedding Day during the holidays and that she settles
well in Wales.
To all
a heartfelt thanks for their particular contribution to the well-being
and the lives of our children at St Richard's and an assurance of our
prayers for them all in their changing situations
On Tuesday the holidays for the pupils officially begin and I hope they
enjoy the many sunny days ahead. For those who have experienced GCSE
and A level examinations, I hope you take some time to rest before rushing
ahead with Summer jobs. The world of education is indeed a highly pressurised
one not just for the teachers but also for pupils. Recreation and time
for oneself is essential to refresh the spirit and parents should help
even younger children to enjoy the luxury in this modern age of simply
resting and being still and doing nothing. My thanks to all the staff,
teaching and non-teaching for their work this year and hope you enjoy
the weeks ahead!
Congratulations
to those from St Mary's who were involved in the Summer Concerts at
St Joseph's on Tuesday and Wednesday night. A terrific night's entertainment
with some special moments were offered yet again by the students of
St Mary's. My apologies if I have missed anyone out but my vision from
the back of the Hall was somewhat impaired. Well Done to James Ellams,
Patrick Snape, Stephen Worthington (who received a Drama Award), Patrick
McLoughlin, Sean Bailey, Clark Barrett and Samantha Gorse.

On Thursday the Governors of St Mary's appointed Mr David Burnett as

for the future.
