REMOTE EDUCATION OFFER

It has been a strange time with some pupils working at home and others working at school. All pupils at home and at school are currently working on the same materials. Materials are uploaded to Purple Mash and these are used in school as well as at home in order to ensure a parity of experience.

The following document aims to explain our current approach to remote learning:

Remote Education Offer Draft Jan 2021

The Teaching & Learning Committee of our Governing Body met to consider our Remote Offer after exploring the materials available to pupils and parents. The school review document for this is available here:

School Review Remote Offer Jan 21

Our Remote offer is a work in progress and is continually open to review.

Constructive feedback is always welcome via feedback@stvincent.herts.sch.uk

Please do let us know how you are feeling about our offer; we can't promise the world, but we will always listen and act upon your opinions where we can. Thank you for your partnership - it is so important to us!

We hope that you all enjoy the partnership in learning ...

Leavers 2019

Farewell, good luck and God bless you, Year 6! On Friday morning we gathered as a whole school community children, staff and parents to say farewell to our friends in Year 6 as they prepared for the next stage of their exciting journey. As the hall filled (it was a tight squeeze!), we looked at pictures of our friends throughout their time at our school. I've had to split the film into two clips to share it on this platform ... Mr Crump and Mrs Glover reminded us of the absolute potential of each and every one of our pupils through reading 'What if ...' by Jackie French Koller ... including ... What if Einstein never used his brain or the Wright brothers never tried to fly a plane? What if Beethoven never tried to play? What if Motehr Teresa turned away? The message to take away from this is that we all have something unique and beautiful inside; our task is to use this, to try, to have a go. If we don't, we ignore...

From Mission Statement to action: the charism of our school ...

Our children are great at making daily use of the school mission statement. It trips off their tongues so easily and is accompanied by their beautiful signing. But what does it really mean for them and how does the charism of St Vincent de Paul influence their daily life in school? Check out our recently premiered charism film here: As always, our young people can always teach us a thing or two. It is often so humbling to hear them talking of their faith so naturally, entwined with their very being and reflected in their interactions at school and beyond. They talk with such passion about what it means to be a person of faith and how this impacts upon their lives in the classroom, at home and in the wider community and are so keen to make a difference in the world. It gives me great pleasure to watch this: our children are our future and the world is in their safe hands! Thanks be to God!

Small Actions can make big differences!

We might not have been on Strike for Climate Change Action on Friday but we certainly did focus on some key environmental themes with the intention of making a big difference and a little bit of 'noise'! I was so proud to see our young children demonstrating their passion for protecting their future and using their voices to powerfully declare a change that is required across the nation and across the generations. No doubt they came home with some very clear messages for other family members! For the staff, our day began our our regular staff briefing with a prayer about the ark: I kept coming back to the powerful words of this prayer throughout the day - it was wonderful to see and hear our children committed to building that 'ark' through their words and actions. Our young people are definitely the heralds of a new rainbow covenant and we all need to take their lead! We were delighted to have received a letter from Bishop Paul McAleenan encouragin...
