Dear Parents,
It is with a heavy heart that I share the news with you that our much loved Rita Powell passed away on 1st April 2021. She was a loyal and much loved member of staff who served our community at St Joseph’s in various ways for more than 50 years, including as a Mid Day Supervisor for many, many years. She was loved by children and staff alike and all at school have fond memories of her. Please see the attached Notice for funeral arrangements. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this sad time. Family flowers only, any donations in lieu of flowers can be made to;

as the family want to raise funds for St Joseph’s Primary school, a place always in her heart.
Rest in peace our dear friend.
Mrs A Riordan
Headteacher
