Posted on: 8/10/2025Year 5 Trip to Charlton HouseYear 5 had a fantastic day at Charlton House, stepping back in time to experience life in the past. The children dressed up in historical costumes and took part in a range of exciting activities, including traditional games, dancing, and exploring the customs of the era. Through hands-on experiences and fun workshops, they brought their learning in history to life and deepened their understanding of how people lived long ago. It was a wonderful day filled with laughter, learning, and plenty of memorable moments.

We are incredibly proud that he was awarded Runner Up in the Bravery category, a wonderful recognition of his courage and resilience. Everyone at OLOG is so proud of the progress Zaki has made both academically and personally, and it was a joy to celebrate this achievement with him.
Posted on: 30/09/2025Knitting ClubOur children are absolutely loving Knitting Club! Each week, they come together with enthusiasm, creativity, and growing confidence as they learn new skills and work on their individual projects. It's been wonderful to see their excitement as they master different techniques, help one another, and take pride in what they're creating—whether it’s a simple square or a full scarf. Knitting Club has become a warm, welcoming space where friendships grow, patience is practised, and imaginations thrive. Thank you for supporting their participation in this rewarding and relaxing activity!

Posted on: 23/09/2025New Term RemindersNow that we have all settled into the new term, we would like to remind you of a few important expectations: Punctuality The Senior Leadership Team will be looking at those children who are persistently late to school in the mornings as we have noticed an increase in late arrivals recently. Please ensure your child arrives at school on time each morning. Being punctual helps your child start the day calmly and helps to minimise disruption in the classroom. As a reminder, children should be in their classrooms at 8.55am and should not be arriving after that time as this will be considered late. If your child is late, an adult must accompany the child to sign them in at the school office. School Uniform Please make sure that all jumpers and cardigans are properly labelled and the correct uniform must be worn each day. PE Kits Please make sure that your child comes to school in their PE kit on their designated day. With the weather changing , winter PE kits can now be worn.
Posted on: 23/09/2025Save Our Historic Church and Keep our 120yr old Parish OpenThank you to everyone who signed the original petition to save Our Lady of Grace church back in May 2025. The Augustinians of the Assumption have issued notice to the Archdiocese to vacate the church building by 30th June 2026. The trust has presented a fully costed plan to accept the gift of the church building from the Assumptionists, preserving our parish at zero cost to either the Archdiocese or the Assumptionist owners. New Petition: Following the notice to vacate, they have launched an updated petition reflecting the critical urgency of the situation and their support for both parish preservation and the Assumptionist mission in the South. We are asking for your help again and ask that you sign the petition by clicking the link. Save our Parish A meeting was held at the church on Monday 22nd September in the church hall where the Trustees of Our Lady of Grace Buildings Preservation Trust updated parishioners about the future of Our Lady of Grace church and discussed its historical significance to the area which is fascinating! Who knew?! On the petition site, you will find more historical information and youtube videos which will explain more. There will lots of fundraising activities happening in the church and this will be available in their newsletter and on the webiste such as concerts in the church, Christmas bazaar and other fundraising events. It is crucial that everyone gets behind this project to enable the church to remain open for generations to come. Please visit the Our Lady of Grace Preservation Trust website for more information and where you can donate to the Just Giving page. https://ologtrust.org.uk/
