Our Year 6 class celebrated their class saint – St Josephine Bakhita – today by enjoying a class mass with Fr Alex and their families. Thank you to those that joined this morning.
This lunchtime, we joined St Chad’s Cathedral live as we watch the Installation of Fr Mark as Canon. He is being admitted as a member of metropolitan Cathedral of St Chad. We pray for him and the clergy that take up the rights and duties of their office.
We have celebrated this by sharing a special cake and some of our talented children have created portraits of Fr Mark.
We are really proud to have been recognised for living simply, sustainably and in solidarity by being awarded the Live Simply Award by CAFOD.
Pupils and staff are proud to have achieved the Live Simply Award after taking action to demonstrate they are living simply, sustainably and in solidarity with the world’s poorest communities. This two year journey has involved actions that have impacted school, the local area and globally.
Championed by overseas development charity CAFOD, we have been recognised for implemented a number of exceptional projects that highlighted the importance of caring for people and the planet.
We look forward to planning together as a school community to decide on ways our live simply journey can continue.
Key Stage 1 led a very special Liturgy yesterday during which they thought about how they will show love to others this Christmas. Their idea to decorate purple heart shaped balloons with their ‘go forth’ messages was very special indeed! A lovely, prayerful way to start the day. Thank you to families able to attend and to school council for serving refreshments afterward. #readytheway #prayerandliturgy
This afternoon we celebrated our Advent Mass in school. Father Alex blessed the Bambinelli that the children had produced in their classes! Well done to our Year 4 children, who sang an offertory hymn and our Liturgy Leaders who planned and led the mass with Father Alex.
Thank you to our school community who joined us.
Thank you to our Year 6 children who planned and led Mass with Father Alex yesterday morning for Saint John of the Cross. Thank you to the families who attended. #saintjohnofthecross
What a beautiful evening at this years’ Candlelight Carol Service. Year 4 represented the school superbly in all of the ways in which they contributed to a very special evening. What a pleasure it is to be a part of this tradition.
To celebrate our work over the last year in living our mission, every day of Advent will remind us of the wonderful work that we have done. Take a look.
Congratulations to our pupils from Year 6 who received the Holy Sacrament on Tuesday of Confirmation. They received their certificates in Assembly today and also had a party to celebrate.
A HUGE thank you to our school community! We are very proud to say that we have raised £133.26 and will be able to gift a toilet to a community where one is needed! An incredible and thoughtful effort!
The children had an assembly today, where they learnt the damaging effects that not having a working toilet can have on a local community. They also learnt an incredible fact that more people in the world have a mobile phone than a working toilet!!
We were able to promote out Live Simply message and link our service to the Catholic Social Teachings of Dignity of the Human Person; Participation; Option for the poor & vulnerable; common good; Care for our common home and Solidarity!
