Hello, for me one of the hardest things about not being in school 'as normal' is being able to gather together as a school family for our acts of worship.  So, I thought I would share with you what we would have been thinking about this week.

Normally I would light a candle and say these…

A very Happy Easter to everyone, whether you celebrate Easter or not, for Christians the world over it is perhaps the most sacred and special day in our year. A day we remember when the risen Lord conquered death and rose again.

A very Happy New Year to everyone!

This post is to let you know a bit about our Vision Statement that we have worked on as a staff and with the children.  On our home page…

"In RE we have been learning about authority. There are many  people who have authority for example like policemen, teachers and head teachers. There are many more people who have authority. Jesus has a special authority named divine authority because he is the son of God. Jesus has shown…
