Rooted in Faith, Growing through Learning
Ash Wednesday
On Wednesday, the whole school marked the beginning of Lent and our journey towards Easter with a special worship for Nursery, Reception, Y1 & Y2 and then our KS2 Eucharist. They were wonderful experiences and it was a privilege to ash the children, alongside Rev’d Daniel. The children also took a great deal from it. Ms Wood
