Yesterday, we had a wonderful celebration as the GIFT team was commissioned by Father Steven to begin their chaplaincy mission.

• Severn Trent Assembly

  Wed 10 Sep 2025

  On Wednesday 10th September, KS2 were visited by Severn Trent Water company. They talked to them about how to save water, where we get our water from and all the wonderful uses for water.

  We also looked at the water cycle, different famous rivers and how we can look after our earth. The children remembered lots of amazing facts and are going to try and remember to turn the taps off when they aren't using them to save our planet!

  Thank you Severn Trent for a wonderful visit!

• Year 4 Stations of the Cross

  Fri 11 Apr 2025

  oday, our wonderful Year 4 students guided us through a reflective dramatisation of the Stations of the Cross, a peaceful way to conclude the term as we prepare for Holy Week and the joyful celebration of Easter.

  As the children beautifully reflected on each station, they encouraged us all to consider how these moments resonate in our own lives. These thoughtful observations help us to foster a sense of community and spiritual growth as we enter this sacred time of year.

  Each station reminded us of the importance of compassion, love, and resilience, paving the way for renewal and hope this Easter.

  Thank you to Year 4 for leading such a profound reflection today! May we all carry these teachings in our hearts as we journey through the days ahead.

  Wishing everyone a peaceful and blessed Easter break!
