Live Simply Award

24th January 2024Mr J Morgan

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 Liturgy

22nd December 2023Mr J Morgan

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

 

Advent Mass

18th December 2023Mr J Morgan

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.

Candlelight Choir Service

13th December 2023Mr J Morgan

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.

24th November 2023Mr J Morgan

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.

 

World Toilet Day

20th November 2023Mr J Morgan

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!

Year 5 Remembrance Assembly

10th November 2023Mr J Morgan

This morning, our year 5 class delivered a wonderfully moving Remembrance class assembly. The children reverently informed the children and parents of the reasons behind Remembrance Day and why we take the time each year to remember those that fought and died for us so that we have the life we have today. ‘Lest we forget’
