Walking in the light of God’s Love-Together we will succeed
Keep up to date with all the news happening in school at the moment.
Celebrate with us!
'Class stars' are children selected by the class teacher - it could be for extra hard work, a great attitude or achieving something individual to the pupil.
Just before we left we took our second ‘official photo’. Great contrast to the one on the hill! We are next to the lake that we enjoyed so much. We will be home very soon.

Dear Y5/Y6 Parents,
Good Morning Thursday!
A brand new day has begun. The sky is blue and the sun is shining - how amazing is that! After a lovely cooked breakfast of: sausages, bacon, hash browns, beans, tomatoes, yoghurt and fruit … we cleared the drying room and walked to the activity stations. Group 8 and 9 are Orienteering, Group 10 are on the Military Obstacle Course, Group 11 Zip Line and Group 12 Blind Trail. Next we are back on the Lake (which hopefully is warming nicely!).
I’m trying to upload some of the photographs – I hope you enjoy what you see! The children are having a fantastic time and last night slept like logs!

NOTE: There is no WIFI readily available on the site. We are taking photographs that we will try to upload. Anything we do upload we have to ‘piggyback’ using a network we can find’. I hope you understand why we cannot upload the 100s of photos we have taken but will try our best. We will upload them once we can make a connection.
Dear Y5/Y6 Parents,
Greetings from a very wet Lockerbie! Tonight the rain met us but it hasn’t spoilt our fun! It is the first rain we have had so we have been really fortunate.
We arrived after a fantastic journey and on arrival were led to our Pod Village. The Pods are amazing – little wooden huts that are warm and comfy. We are all in different groups with a teacher from St Mary’s leading each one. We have completed: team games, scavenging, Hill Walk, archery, fencing and volleyball (but not every group yet). Tomorrow we begin the water activities.
The meals are excellent – lots to eat and yummy too!
The Manor House is very famous in the local area and our Pod Village is within its grounds. On our Hill Wall today, we met some rather interested cows, not to mention lots of sheep and hills that could have been mountains.
The medicine round is almost complete for tonight and we are now getting ready for bed. After a very busy day – we are all looking forward to a ‘Pod’ sleep.

What a transformation! John’s Garden is looking very bright and colourful thanks to some amazingly hard work and effort from our PTFA. The playground has been empty so far as most of the children are on the new artificial grass! Thank you very much to every parent, grandparent, friend or family member who helped in any way, we really do appreciate it all.
More work is planned to complete the transformation of the school environment, if you wish to get involved in any way at all. Please contact any member of the PTFA.
Below is a message from the PTFA:
🌼We are delighted!!🌼 We very much hope that your little ones enjoy this brilliant space. It’s physical transformation is down to an awful lot of hard work and efforts by so many individuals and companies who we are extremely greatful to.
Thanks to Russ & Martin Lamkin from R Way Paving Ltd for the groundworks & artificial turf. Lee James from Laing O’Rourke for all of the paint, wood & sundries plus ALL of the families & friends who turned out at the Community Day.... we tip our hats to all of you!! THANK YOU!! 😘 x x x
On Tuesday Children from Year 5 and 6 took part in a Tag Rugby tournament at Sefton Rugby Club. The team played 6 games of which they won 5 and lost the last. However, they still ended up as overall winners of the first KMC Sport trophy. Congratulations!
It was a lovely afternoon in the sunshine that all the children (and staff) enjoyed.
On Wednesday children Year 6 boys took part in a Futsal competition at Archbishop Beck Tennis Centre. They played 3 games in the group stages. progressing to the final on the day after winning the group. Although they did not win the final, the top two teams go through to represent Liverpool in the county finals day at the Merseyside Schools finals competition so we wish them luck! Thank you to Mr ?Kirby, Mr Moran and Mr Wilson for taking the children to these events.

Wow! What an amazing day. The sun shone on some fantastic costumes that were all fit for Windsor.
Our re-enactment of Windsor Castle and St George's Chapel was a real special moment and it is clear our children would make tremendous guests at any Royal event! The atmosphere with us all on the playground together was so unique and memorable – a real family gathering. The dancing was great too! Thank you to the Kitchen Staff for the picnic and Mr Kelly for organising a wonderful experience. Lots of pictures there to enjoy.
