Today we say goodbye to a number of staff including our headteacher Mrs McCarthy. She has given seven years of loyal service to SJH and helped to create the wonderful school community that we are part of today. Students and staff will miss her smile, her kindness and her sense of humour. She will always be part of the SJH family and we wish her every happiness for the future! Good luck Mrs McCarthy!

Goodbye to this wonderful student, who leaves us to live in Poland. Thank you for your generous gift to our garden.

A letter from our Executive Head has just been posted on our website.

We were delighted to welcome Jacqueline Rodden, Chair of the St Ralph Sherwin Trust, to School for a very special Act of Worship this morning. Mrs Kate Kells was presented with a special award from the Trust in recognition of her volunteer work for the School. We were delighted that members of her family were able to join us. Congratulations Kate from everyone at SJH.

We held our Celebration of Achievement evening last night and guest speaker Mr McNally told the audience that he will be leaving us at the end of term after 29 years of loyal service to SJH. He really is a true SJH #legend and who can forget the Gareth Southgate waistcoat! We are sure you will join us in wishing him well!

Today we welcomed @KirkHallamCA @WilsthorpeCS to hear from the #aquabox charity about the fantastic work they are doing across the world. The talk was part of an #Erewash Youth Forum meeting and we are so proud of our students who really want to make a difference @RotaryGBI
