A Year of Prayer

Pope Francis has asked that 2024 be a Year of Prayer.   Children from Years 5 and 6 have had an opportunity to write a prayer and intercessions from personal needs to helping victims of war.  There have been prayers of praise, thanks, sorrow and petitions of care for family members and whole nations.  After the Easter holiday children from every year group will have a chance to write a prayer and these will be offered as part of our Offertory gifts during Mass on Tuesday's.

Live Simply Lenten Pledges 

During our Ash Wednesday Mass, every class brought up to the sanctuary, as part of the offertory gifts, our ‘Lenten Pledges’ as part of the CAFOD campaign to ‘Live Simply.’  Every child in the school has been given an opportunity to make a pledge and share them in their class.  Displayed in the KS1 hall are some of the pledges embracing the church teachings to:

Live Simply; Live Sustainably and Live in Solidarity.

Please take a look at the pdf below put together by Mr Bonner and our children. 

Congratulations Bartosz and Adam. What a fantastic result - 2nd place in the Table Tennis, National Cadet League.

News and dates for your diary.

On Tuesday 19th March we are taking part in the Big Lent Walk with hundreds of schools throughout England and Wales. Every member of our school community will walk around the school grounds as part of our Lenten Pledge to 'Live Simply'.  Alongside this, Mr Bonner is walking 40 miles every week of Lent to help with this appeal. We invite you to sponsor your child in participating in ‘The Big Walk’ on Tuesday 19th March.

St Vincent de Paul once said: “Give a little, it helps a lot!” Your donations can change lives! Every £1 raised through the ‘Big Lent Walk’ will help fight poverty globally in countries like Afghanistan, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.

Thank you to everyone for supporting the latest Food Bank appeal.  As you can see we had a great response!
