During the past few weeks, so much has happened! We have had a great time celebrating World Book Day:

The children and staff all looked fantastic!

We received ashes in our Ash Wednesday Service. Father, accompanied by the comfort bear, led our special service to begin our Lent Journey. We had a special visit from Christine at CAFOD and we are looking forward to being Pilgrims of Hope for our Big Lent Walk. Information will be coming home soon!

Well done to our swimmers, who came second overall. They represented school incredibly well and we are very proud of them all.
