Dear staff and students of St Robert Bellarmine,
I hope you are all well. I am aware that these times are uncertain and it can be very scary; however, we will get through this. Even though are apart, we have never pulled closer together and I assure you, we will all meet again soon.
I would like to say a massive thank you to all staff and their incredible effort of making sure that we are kept busy with enough work. I also wish to thank the NHS, independent shops, supermarkets, lorry drivers, refuse collectors and all others keeping life as normal as possible.
I miss each and every one of you, from my little buddy duty friends, to all my close friends in yr6. I miss the laughter on the playground, the silence of quiet reading and I am sure you all do too but we must remember to stay indoors and to only go out for essentials. Think about it, this is history in the making, future generations will learn of our heroic behaviour like we learn about the world wars.
Make sure to go easy on your carers as this is new to them too. They are probably just as worried and they only want you to be safe. Take time to be kind.
As I have said, we will see each other again soon but when all depends on whether we follow government advice so for now, stay in, stay safe and remember we will get through this.
Best regards,
Chairperson of St Robert Bellarmine
Erin

Dear Parents,
Here's the weekly update. I hope you and your families continue to enjoy the lovely weather and that you are managing as best you can!
Teachers have worked very hard organising home learning and we hope you are able to access this. We appreciate that it is difficult for everyone to juggle the demands of home life, other children and perhaps going out to work, or working from home. Nevertheless, as weeks go by, we would not want our children to miss out on the opportunity to be able to continue to either keep key skills bubbling, or some new learning. Please just try to do your best with it. New work will be available again on Monday morning.
We understand that a few of you are still struggling to access the government vouchers for Free School Meals from Edenred. This is a national problem. However please contact admin.strobertbellarmine@schools.sefton.gov.uk and Mrs Austin will try to help you.
We are really enjoying seeing the Tweets which you have sent letting us see how the children are getting on. I particularly enjoyed the Keepy up challenge! Well done to those who had a go. Again Parents, please continue to keep in touch through twitter.
There may not always be anyone in the office each day so if you cannot contact us by phone then the best method is on the admin email above.
Finally, can those parents who are eligible as key workers to send children to school, please inform us by email by 3pm Friday if you want your child to attend school. This is to ensure we can plan staff rotas. Also let us know if you need Breakfast club.
Enjoy your weekend!
Kind regards
M Dowell

Dear Parents,
Hope you have enjoyed the Easter break and fantastic weather and made the best of the difficult circumstances we find ourselves in.
Schools will be re-opening on Monday 20th April only for the children who are eligible as their parents are key workers. Last night's decision for the lockdown to continue for a further 3 weeks further emphasises the importance of staying at home to protect yourselves and your children as far as is possible.
Can those parents who are eligible as key workers please confirm with admin.strobertbellarmine@schools.sefton.gov.uk if your child needs to attend next week and if you need Breakfast club as soon as possible please (end of today preferably so we can plan staffing).
I have really enjoyed seeing the Tweets you have shared with us about how the children are working away on their various tasks! I cannot thank you enough for your time and commitment in helping your children with their home learning! I appreciate that this can be quite difficult at times.
Can I encourage those of you who are not on Twitter to sign up as it really is a good way for us all to keep in touch .
Staff have been working on new Home learning activities for the forthcoming week. These will be available on the Class pages of the website again from 10am on Monday 20th April. We recognise that some of this work may be difficult to organise so we have tried to break it down into suggested timetables for each day. Again I appreciate this may be difficult if you are working yourselves and your child needs support but just try to do the best you can. We are continuing to think about the best ways of organising the Home learning and helping you and your children.
Families who are eligible for Free School Meals should be getting emails about their vouchers from Monday. The vouchers have been issued from a company called Edenred. Again if any issues please contact the admin email.
It may be more difficult to phone the school office over the next few weeks as we have a number of staff unable to be in school so please bear with this and if need be use the email to contact school.
Kind regards
M Dowell
