Principal's End of Term Message
Dear Parents & Guardians
As we begin our Summer break I want to thank you most sincerely for your gentle, unwavering support during my first 6months as Acting Principal. It has been an absolute privilege for me and I am already looking forward to continuing for the 2026/27 academic year.
I wish you, your children and your entire family, a safe, healthy and happy Summer filled with sunshine, laughter and good memories. We look forward to receiving our treasured pupils back on Tuesday 1st September.
In gratitude,
Mrs Donnelly

Important
NUT ALLERGIES
Please do not send any types of foods containing any type of nuts into school for lunches as we have children with severe nut allergies. These items include biscuits and bars with a nutella type filling or croissants, pan au chocolate and brioche rolls. We ask parents to read the ingredients on these items before putting them in packed lunches.
We cannot allow products in school if the label states; "may contain traces of nuts."
If pupils bring products containing nuts to school, we will hold on to them and send them home uneaten at the end of the day.
We have been advised by the Allergy Nurse not to accept Horse Chestnuts / Conkers.
Please help keep children safe while in St Clare's Abbey.
