Saint Norbert's Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy

We're so pleased to welcome back Mrs Neale from CAFOD, who's here to speak to each class about the Jubilee Year. We have also learned more about how the Big Lent Walk will be our way of showing solidarity with those less fortunate than ourselves.

We are so grateful to our generous school community who collected items for the Scunthorpe Food Bank during our Harvest celebration. Thank you so much.

We are so proud of Laila, who is the recipient of this year's 'Kindness Award'. Laila is seen here with the Proctor Family Trophy to recognise her kind, helpful and hardworking attitude throughout the year. The award is given annually in honour of Barbara and Kevin Proctor.

We are delighted to have been reaccredited by UNICEF as a Gold Rights Respecting School. The third stage of the Award means that children's rights have been fully embedded throughout policy, practice and ethos.

We are so grateful to our PTA - the Friends of Saint Norbert's - for funding our library redecoration project. Thanks also to Mr Brady - our Caretaker - for his brilliant efforts to transform this space.

All classes enjoyed working with clay artist Karen Raithby as we continue to learn about the ABCDE of children's rights. @UNICEF_uk

It was great to welcome artist Chris Teal to work with every class in school as we continue our work on children's rights. @UNICEF_uk

We were delighted to achieve first place in both the Infant and Junior Choral Speaking events at this morning's Scunthorpe Speech and Drama Festival. The Festival enables all participating schools to enjoy and celebrate pupils' hard work from across North Lincolnshire.

We were so proud of our three Year 6 pupils, who - alongside four other local schools - represented Saint Norbert's at the North Lincolnshire Holocaust Memorial Service. Reggie, Joseph and Abigail shared the reading of a moving extract written by a Holocaust survivor.

Our KS2 choir spent a special afternoon visiting our local residential home - Greenacres - to sing a selection of Christmas carols and songs. We very much enjoyed the opportunity to speak to and spend time with the residents.

We really enjoyed our annual visit to the Scunthorpe Pantomime at the Baths Hall this morning. The children had a great time! Thank you @DameAnnieFanny!

We are so proud of Megan, who was a prize winner in the recent 'Inter-Faith Week 2023' art competition organised by University Campus North Lincolnshire. Congratulations to all of our children who submitted entries.

Thank you to our whole school community for supporting our Poppy Appeal fundraising.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated to our collection for the Epworth Foodbank as part of our Harvest Celebration today. In total, we also raised £130.23 in cash donations for this very worthy cause. This is our Catholic mission lived out.
