SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School

Dear Pupil (and parents/carers)

We are delighted to today open the nominations for the first “Chadwick Celebration Awards”.
These awards are to celebrate the staff who work for Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust and your school.  One of the awards is the very special ‘Inspirational Staff Awards’ and we would like pupils from across all of our schools to make a nomination in this category. We would like you to think about all the staff at your school and if there is someone that you think
has done a really good job and deserves to get a certificate then you can nominate them.

The nomination category for this award is:
“This award is aimed at someone who has fuelled enthusiasm, gone over and above the remit of their regular workload to emotionally and practically support pupil(s). This award is held in the highest esteem as the nominations come from the grassroots of our trust. He or she will have made an impact on a pupil’s academic or pastoral life, memorable enough for that young person to want to mark the efforts of the staff member”.

You may need to ask an adult for some help to make your nomination. You can do this online with the link below – you need to send in your nominations by Friday 8 April 2022.  Those nominated and the overall winner will be announced on Friday 8 July 2022.

Thank you very much for getting involved – one of the key values of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust is Celebration and we want to provide an opportunity to recognise the valuable and inspiring contributions that staff across the organisation make to allow us all to work towards our Mission: Better Schools, Better Communities, Better Futures in Christ.

Kind Regards

Brendan Tapping

The parental consultations will give you a chance to update us on how your children are settling into school and our new routines, as well as for us to let you know of their successes and the things they are working on so far.

• Common childhood infections in the chest, ears or throat
• Children who are being sick or have diarrhoea
• Cuts and open wounds that need closing
• Minor burns
• Minor bumps or head injuries
