ST JOHN PAYNE CATHOLIC SCHOOL INVITATION from the new Headteacher: I am blessed and honoured to
serve and lead as Headteacher of St John Payne Catholic School. The school enjoys a fantastic reputation as a centre
of learning and faith both in the local community and beyond. Our academic success and excellent record of pastoral
care is attributed to the three-way partnership between home, school and parish, underpinned by the Gospel values
upon which the school is founded. I invite parishioners with children approaching secondary school age to visit our
new website www.sjp.essex.sch.uk and to attend our Open
Evening on Thursday 4th October from 5.30-8.00 p.m. The evening always provides a wonderful showcase of all that the
school has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you. Mr T. Coen (full letter on noticeboard)
CHURCH OF OUR SAVIOUR Work has started on restoring the church but there will be no Vigil mass here
until further notice.
