Thomas & his Half Marathon

At St Mary’s we are very pround of our, Everyday Hero – Thomas Wilson who has decided to run a half-marathon (or maybe more) over the month of March. He is doing this in aid of the charity Crisis who work to end homelessness.

So far, Thomas has appeared in local newspapers and on the radio – and it’s little wonder, given his tremendous effort and dedication. You can read Thomas’s story to the right, sponsor him on his own fundraising page here and listen to his interview by clicking on the microphone below (fastforward to 2hrs 23 minutes).

My Story:

 

I want to raise some money for the homeless charity Crisis because recently when I have been going to the supermarket with my Mum we have been talking to a homeless man called Dean who sits outside. He’s a really nice man & we get him a coffee & some food & we sit & chat to him. We found out last week that he became homeless because his Mum died & now he has nowhere to live. He was so sad & this made me feel really sad too so I decided I want to do something to help people like him.
I am going to run a total of 13 miles (half of a marathon distance) or more on the treadmill in March for my Step Forward For Homeless challenge so please sponsor me if you can. Thankyou very much.
Thomas 🙂

Following Boris Johnson’s 8pm announcement we now know that as of midnight tonight the country has entered a new period of Lockdown, a Lockdown that includes the closure of school. 

School will be open for the children of Key Workers and for pupils who are deemed vulnerable. All pupils will be provided with work in order for them to keep learning. 

Tonight’s announcement was very short notice for you as parents and also for us as a Staff. Tomorrow, by 11am there will be three tasks on the school website for each Class to complete as their Tuesday learning. However, School will be closed to ALL pupils tomorrow. 

 

Staff, however, will be in school preparing for the rest of the Lockdown. Through tomorrow we will prepare school to make it safe for Key worker pupils and vulnerable children to return. 

We will send out a form for you to apply for a place in the Keyworker Bubbles and we will let you know more about how children will be learning remotely. We will do our very best to re-open to Key Worker children and vulnerable pupils by Wednesday. 

I am aware of how difficult this is for you all, School closing creates a multitude of problems for everyone but data surrounding this awful disease dictates that this is a necessary step. As ever, the safety and health of everyone must be a priority. 

Thank you for your continued support and we will be in frequent contact over the next few days. 

Many thanks
