• Our deepest sympathy's extended to Mr Moran and his family at this time

  Fri 18 Mar 2022 Mrs Nickson

  It is with great sadness that I share with you all, the tragic passing of Mr Moran’s beloved son Jack, on Tuesday evening.

   

  ‘Our Jack’, as he is known throughout school, has been a frequent visitor among us over the years and was a popular and well-liked member of the extended RAMJS family. With a similar personality to his father, Andy, his cheery nature regularly lifted out spirits and made us smile.

   

  The sadness felt throughout school has been overwhelming and words can not convey the sorrow we are feeling for the loss of this wonderful young man.

   

  On behalf of his family, Andy would like to thank the RAMJS community for their words of condolence. He is taking strength from the love and kindness he has received in recent days and knows that he remains in all our hearts, hopes and prayers.

   

  Rest in Peace ‘Our Jack’

  “Your memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part.

  God has you in his keeping but we will keep you in our hearts.”

• Snapchat

  Thu 10 Mar 2022 Mrs Nickson

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  We are dealing with repeated incidents involving Snapchat and inappropriate content being sent throughout school.  These incidents are occurring outside of school time but coming into school as unresolved incidents that staff are having to manage.

   

  Children at times are being particularly unkind and we are experiencing an increase in children reporting feeling sad, anxious and upset following conversations that have gotten out of control.

   

  These incidents are impacting on our pupils confidence and wellbeing so please remind your children about safe use and kind words.

   

  I have included some information about managing Snapchat as it is an app many school staff are unaware of how to use.

   

  Please consider the appropriateness of this app for your children as the age limit is 13+.

  Snapchat deletes messages as soon as they have been seen so it is nearly impossible as a parent to see what may have been sent by your child or to your child unless it has been screenshot.  We greatly appreciate your continued support.

   

  Kindest Regards

  Mrs Nickson and the RAMJS Team

  

• Parking

  Wed 02 Mar 2022

  Parents/Carers,

   

  Please can you avoid driving down Emerson Road when dropping your children off, you can park on Morrisons car park and walk through. We are having lots of complaints from our neighbours, traffic congestion and most importantly we are concerned for the safety of our children who walk to school. Thank you for your co-operation.
