Dear Parents and Carers,
This Wednesday, we welcomed our first group of perspective families on tours of our school for the September 2025 intake. We were exceptionally proud of the wonderful job that Year 6 children did in leading the tours. In fact, they did so well that many of the parents didn’t have any questions for the staff! We look forward to welcoming more families over the coming weeks.
If you are out and about on Autumnal walks over the half term, please look out for any pinecones and conkers. We would love to have more natural materials in St. David’s class! Other items we are looking for are baskets made out of natural materials, wooden palettes and empty wooden electrical cable spools. Thank you!
Year 3 welcomed Haslemere Museum to school this week to bring their Science learning about Rocks and Fossils to life. You can read more about it later in the newsletter.
We look forward to welcoming you into school next week for Parents Evening – this is a wonderful opportunity to find out how your children are getting on in school and any next steps for their learning.
Enjoy a restful weekend,
Mrs. Amy O’Donovan
Head of School
Collective Worship
Last Sunday’s Gospel gave us lots to think about this week. The children thought hard about how they can follow Jesus and how like the rich man, they can live their lives so that they gain eternal life. We thought about how we can put Jesus before our material belongings, how we can share what we do have and the actions we can take to follow Jesus more closely. Ask us what Jesus meant when he spoke about how hard it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle!
Year 6 Parents
Although your children are only a few weeks into year 6, it is time to apply for secondary school places! The Surrey deadline for Secondary School applications is the 31st October. Do make sure you have applied in time. Click here to go to Surrey’s Secondary School application page.
Wake Up Wednesday
Continuing on from our focus on mental health last week, this week’s Wake Up Wednesday focuses on self-regulation. Every year group has been learning about the Zones of Regulation this half term and learning strategies to help the children to self-regulate. Below are some tips for helping your children to self-regulate at home.
Reception 2025
We have just settled our Reception intake, but it is already time to think about 2025’s new intake! If your child is due to start school in September 2025 and you would like to find out more about St. Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School, we will be running tours of the school so that you can see us in action and have the opportunity to meet with Mrs. O’Donovan, Head of School on the following dates:
Numbers will be limited to 6 families each week to ensure that the children in classrooms are not overwhelmed. To book a place, please complete this form.
