Message from the Chair of Governors
We’re pleased to say that St Richard’s has had a
fantastic start to the new school year. The enthusiasm
from both pupils and staff has been brilliant, and we’re
excited about what’s to come.
This term also marks an important moment as we
officially joined the BOSCO Trust on 1st October.
We’re proud to be part of a wider community that
shares our values and aims. A big thank you to Dave
Carter, CEO of the BOSCO Trust, for making us feel
so welcome and supported.
As we begin this new chapter, we’re inspired by the
words of Pope Leo XIV:
“Without fear, united, hand in hand with God and
among ourselves, we will go forward.”
We’d love for you to stay involved - whether it’s
joining us at upcoming events, supporting your child’s
learning, or sharing your thoughts with us. Your
involvement makes a real difference.
Thank you for your continued support. We’re looking
forward to a year full of growth, learning, and shared
success.
Kirsty Eydmann,
Chair of Governors
Dear Parents, Carers and Friends of St Richard’s,
As we step into October, the PTFA would like to thank
everyone for their amazing support so far this term. We’re
delighted to share that the recent Year 7 & 8 Disco was
a fantastic success - the pupils had a great evening, and
together we raised over £1,300 for the school! Your continued
support, whether through volunteering, donating, or simply
joining in at events, makes such a big difference to our school
community - thank you. We’re now looking ahead to an
exciting few weeks with several special events coming up:
•
Grandparents’ Mass – a wonderful celebration with our
extended school family.
•
Year 12 Prize Giving – recognising the hard work and
achievements of our senior pupils.
•
Christmas Fayre – one of the highlights of the year, and
we’d love your help to make it a success!
If you would like to join us and help in any way - through
donations, raffle prizes or volunteering - we would really
appreciate it!
Please contact: Helen (PTFA Chair) – 07855 40902
Rachel (Treasurer) – 07855 225419
We apologise if you have already shared your details and
we haven’t yet been in touch - we truly value everyone’s
willingness to help. We’re looking forward to getting more
parents and friends involved so that, together, we can continue
to help our already fantastic school thrive.
With warm regards, The PTFA Team
