As we come to the end of the Spring term, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work and support during this time.
In many ways it has been a term of two halves, with our first half term taking place during a national lockdown before being able to welcome our students back.
I know I speak for our whole school community in saying it has been an absolute pleasure to have our students back where they belong.

Students at St Oscar Romero’s Catholic school have a great day planned on Thursday 11th February called the Pillars of Possibility – Where ‘Anything is Possible’.
Throughout the day students will be involved in Pillar workshops helping them to build their skills for the future. Zoom Seminars, fun activities, quizzes, challenges and much more.
The Pillars of Possibility is a personal development program that helps young people to build core practical and human skills for the future.
– Example Practical skill — being able to cook a meal
– Example Human skill — understanding other people’s views
‘Anything is Possible’ when you put your mind to it
It is the start of a LifeLong journey of discovery for them with no limits on what they can achieve. It is not bound by school hours and can be completed in or out of school.
It is not in any way about testing, exams, homework, classwork and the National Curriculum it’s personal, skills for life and the future.
The Pillars of Possibility helps your child to measure their own personal development and helps them to set their own short and long term targets.
As we come to the end of the autumn term, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work and support in making this such a successful and positive term.
None of us knew exactly what to expect but I am delighted to report that it has been a happy term, in which students and staff alike are pleased to be back at school and return to a sense of normality and routine.
Please read the newsletter and find out about everything we have been doing this term.
