Dear Parent/Carer
I am writing to inform you that Monday, 3rd July is the day of our annual Foundation Service. The
school will close for the afternoon at 12.15 pm for all students apart from Year 7 and those taking part in
the service. This service will take place in our school hall at 2.00 p.m.
Andie Frost, from Chase Family Church will be preaching during the event, and Father Stephen Taylor
from St Michael’s Church will be leading the service. The School Choir, Worship Group, Drum Group and
various student readers will be taking part.
Students from years 8, 9, 10 and 12 (except those taking part) do not have to attend the service
and will be dismissed from school at 12.15pm that day.
We would like to warmly invite Parents of Year 7 and those taking part to attend.
The service is compulsory for staff and students in Year 7; for what is always a great Stopfordian family
occasion; to give thanks for another year in the life of our school and dedicate ourselves afresh to the
Lord.
With many thanks and all good wishes.
Miss J Dougherty
Assistant Headteacher and Lay Chaplain
