• All Saints Collective Worship

  Wed 06 Nov 2024 C.Suckley

  We had a fantastic collective worship this morning! Reverend Gareth came in to talk to the pupils about All Saints and the other seasons in the Christian calendar using his coloured hats. He shared some information about the saints such as St. Matthew and St. David.

• Diwali 2024

The pupils have learnt dances, created Rangoli patterns, role played the story and have taken part in many other activities related to the exciting celebration.
