World Book Day – Thursday 5th March 2026

We will be celebrating World Book Day as part of the ‘National Year of Reading 2026’.

This year’s campaign asks the nation to ‘Go All In’ on their passions and interests for 2026 and discover how reading can unlock the things they already love – be that music, football, baking, family-time, sci-fi, or … anything. We are encouraging our children with the motto: ‘if you’re into it, read into it’.

Keeping with this theme, on World Book Day our children may dress up according to what they are passionate about and are asked to bring a book to school that relates to that interest.

Farewell Service for Revd Daniel Norris

On Monday 15th December our school community came together for a very special service to say a heartfelt thank you and goodbye to Reverend Daniel Norris, the founding headteacher of Saint Jérôme School.

The service was a joyful and reflective celebration of Reverend Norris’ many years of dedication, leadership and faith. Pupils led the service with great confidence and respect, opening with words of thanks and prayers as Reverend Norris prepares for his next chapter in ministry. We sang Make Me a Channel of Your Peace, reflecting the call to love and serve others, which Reverend Norris has always modelled throughout his time with us.

During the service, pupils shared readings from Scripture, including Jesus’ words from John 15 reminding us that “I am the vine; you are the branches”, and that by remaining rooted in love and faith, we can continue to grow and bear fruit. A reading from Ecclesiastes also reminded us that “there is a time for everything”, helping us reflect on endings, new beginnings and God’s guiding presence through every season of life.

Mrs Cox and Mrs Walton shared thoughtful reflections on their journey working alongside Reverend Norris, and we were treated to a beautiful musical moment as Mrs Cox’s daughter performed For Good from Wicked. Year 6 also shared a particularly moving song, expressing gratitude for Reverend Norris’ vision in founding our school and for creating a community where every child is valued, encouraged and inspired.

As Reverend Norris prepares to follow his new calling, we are encouraged by the words of Proverbs: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5–6).

We say goodbye with grateful hearts and fond memories. Reverend Norris, thank you for everything you have given to our school. You will always be part of the Saint Jérôme family and will be greatly missed. We wish you every blessing for the future.
