This week we welcomed back all former St Gregory's Headteachers to our 40th Anniversary. Mr Brophy (1981-2000), Mr Clarke (2000-2012), Mr Heitzman (2014 -2016) & Mr McGlinchey (2016 to present day). Heads of school, Mrs Fawkes and Mrs Howard Rigby were also celebrating with us
St Gregory's has been open all Easter, including bank holidays to support key workers children. I couldn't be more proud of our teachers, canteen, site, support and cleaning staff for everything they do - here is the Tuesday team. Mr McGlinchey
This is Matt in Year 8. Matt won a considerable amount of money in a Euros sweepstake. However, on hearing of the racial abuse suffered by the England players, he awarded ALL of his winnings to an anti-hate charity! What an outstanding young man.
We were thrilled to welcome Mr MacKenzies’s beautiful baby Arya into school today. She’s done an incredible job of raising awareness this World Down’s Syndrome Day. We will be collecting in school over the next two days to support the British Down’s Syndrome Association.
#WDSD
I was extremely sad to leave school this evening after a very emotional and difficult week for our community. It was so humbling how everyone has helped each other. We will stay open to help key workers who need us most whilst ensuring our own staff are safe too. Mr McGlinchey.
Mr McGlinchey wants to publicly thank all teaching and support staff for rising to every challenge that we have faced as we get back to doing what we do best - educating our young people.

In memory of Lynne, a much loved member of the St. Gregory's family.
Dear Lord,
We place our friend Lynne into your hands.
In this life, you loved her but now you welcome her to eternal paradise.
Be with her family, friends and school community at this difficult time.
Amen.
First round of staff testing complete today. Very simple and smooth process and our community feel very safe as a result. The team have come together magnificently as always to support this huge challenge

A big thumbs up from Mr McGlinchey for the calm, composed and mature way our pupils have arrived at school this morning fully equipped with their face coverings and ready for learning.
Mr McGlinchey would like to offer a special thanks to all parents / carers of our pupils who have sent their children back to school looking smart, fully prepared and with excellent manners - your children have been a credit to you.
#schoolsreopening
Mr McGlinchey would like to acknowledge the super job our parents / carers are doing in partnership with us to make our 100% live learning provision a success. You have been brilliant! Teachers and support staff are very grateful for your messages of thanks!
I want to thank all parents / carers again for your role in supporting your children with live lessons at home. I know first hand how difficult it is (see image) to juggle work & home learning. I look forward to pupils coming back to our school. Mr McGlinchey
I couldn't be more proud of our Year 11's. They don't just leave our school family as merely talented and intelligent, they leave as great people. I will miss them but I do know they have great futures ahead. All the best to the class of 2021. Mr McGlinchey
As of this morning we are proud to say we now have every pupil back in school and our site is alive again with face to face learning. Everyone has been brilliant, dealing with all challenges superbly. The image below is a display created by many of our pupils

Dear Parents, Our school will do all we can with restricted staffing and limits - The Secretary of State says do NOT send you children to school unless you are a critical key worker. If you have anyone at home who can look after your child, they should stay at home.
