August 2025 to June 2026

                                 Author Visit for World Book Day                            on Thursday 5th March 2026

We had the pleasure of a visit to our school on World Book Day by author Christopher Menary.  Chris has a strong connection with St Paul's through his work with the School Completion Programme.  He was showcasing the books he has written and he shared his experience of writing novels with the children.

Chris talked about all the steps involved, from coming up with ideas, planning, writing, editing and publishing.  He carried out a mini workshop with each year group in the school.

During the visit, Chris encouraged the children to use their imagination and reminded them that anyone can become a writer if they keep practising.  He is a believer in getting out of your comfort zone and giving everything a go.  Chris is an inspiration to everyone in St Paul's as he has made his dream of writing books a reality.  An incredible achievement and a testament to his hard work and creativity.


ATTENDANCE  DRIVE

This March, we are running an Attendance Drive in St Paul's SNS with the theme:

'March into St Paul's, Ready to Shine'

We are encouraging all pupils to attend school every day during March unless genuinely unwell.

Excellent attendance will be rewarded with prizes such as homework passes, extra basketball time, vouchers, certificates, class rewards and spot prizes.

Your support in helping your child attend school regularly is greatly appreciated.

Together, we can make March our strongest attendance month yet!
