We hope you have all enjoyed a wonderful summer holiday. At St.Vincent’s, we have used the time to complete essential maintenance works to the school as well as some welcome improvements, including the installation of smart lighting. This is a simple, effective method of lighting control which minimises energy consumption whilst retaining high levels of user comfort. A discrete sensor integral to the luminaire monitors ambient light and presence controlling output to the correct level, and ensuring that the area is only illuminated when occupied. This reduces the energy consumed , especially as all the lights are now LED, in keeping with our ‘green’ endeavours.
We also have new computers across the school. Thank you so much to the St.Vincent’s Parents’ Association (S.V.P.A.) and everyone who contributed to the auction for raising the money for these.
Works have also continued in the local area and we are thrilled with the new zebra crossing on Blandford Street. there is now safe access to the school from every direction.
We look forward to welcoming Reception -Year 5 back to school tomorrow (Tuesday 3rd September) and to meeting our new Nursery pupils from Monday 9th September.
