HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL
A huge thank you to all parents, carers and friends of St Andrew’s who came to support our Easter Service yesterday in church. I am personally so grateful that you gave up your time to attend. I know that the children really appreciated you being there to appreciate the fruition of their hard work. My personal thanks to Mr and Mrs Hoban for working so hard in co-ordinating the event and enabling the children to bring their special talents to the service, as a result of this, the Easter Message really shone through. Thank you to all! I am truly proud to be the Headteacher of St Andrew’s School and behalf of us all, wish you a happy and blessed Easter.
God Bless
(Wendy Massey – Headteacher)
