Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Lost Property

  Fri 12 May 2023

  We have had an increasing amount of lost property arrive in the school office this week. On Wednesday, we had 17 pieces of lost property to add to the already large pile.

  Please can all uniform be labelled with names as we can then return it back to its owner. This includes coats and any other item coming into school. 

  We are very aware that uniform is really expensive and so needs to be with its rightful owner. 

  We will once again put a table in the foyer for you to look through and claim any items - all unclaimed items will be put into recycling or second hand uniform sale on the last day if term. 

  Thank-you

• St Sebastian's School Pupil Raised Nearly £800 for Grantham Food Bank

  Mon 24 Apr 2023

  The school is so proud of David, who on his own initiative since Summer 2022 has raised nearly £800 for Grantham's foodbank by selling raffle tickets for his monthly cheese raffle outside Great Gonerby's Post Office, whatever the weather!

  David said: “I started to do all of this because a lot of people out there don’t have a home and I thought it would be good to raise money and help them get food.”

  His sterling effort has been reported on in the Grantham Journal, see the article here.

  Well Done David, you really are an inspiration and Aspiring to Achieve Excellence.

  The School Council met this week and discussed their idea of green recycling bins in each classroom. These are now in place and the Council are going to check their class bin to ensure the right things are going in it.

  They are passionate about recycling!

  They also had some lovely ideas about raising money to support earthquake victims in Turkey. They are looking for clean, large glass jars to collect spare change in – one for each class.

  They would also like to organise a cake sale to raise money for the same cause on Friday 10^th March, all donations are welcome.
