Our next meeting will take place on 28th February, right after the 5:00 pm Mass at St. Joseph’s. This time we'll be playing games, share food together and also we’ll be making lanterns, as we’ve been invited to help create them for the upcoming Lanterns of Hope event at Crook Hall Gardens. It’s a lovely opportunity to get creative together and support a beautiful community celebration.

St Godric's Catholic Primary School
Un fantastique Vendredi Français! On Friday, the children all enjoyed a French-themed afternoon. They took part in a quiz, practised speaking French and tasted some delicious French food, giving everyone a chance to learn and enjoy a little bit of French culture together.
Children’s Mental Health Week - This year’s theme is ‘This Is My Place’ and throughout next week, we will explore the importance of belonging, for our mental health and wellbeing. Look out for our photos and videos on our new Instagram and Facebook accounts:

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School
We are delighted to share the exciting news that we have secured our school visit to the Houses of Parliament for this year. Our Year 5 and 6 children will travel to London on 12th June to enjoy a guided tour of Parliament, see Buckingham Palace, and take in some of the other iconic sights of our capital city. This is always a memorable opportunity for our pupils to deepen their understanding of democracy and British heritage.
We are also offering tours of our school and nursery for families with children who will be turning three in the next year. Spaces are filling up quickly, so we encourage families to get in touch soon if they would like to join our nurturing early years.

St Leonard's Catholic Secondary School
We have recently received a letter from the Secretary of State for Education recognising the work of our school. This acknowledgement reflects the dedication of our staff and pupils, and we are grateful for the continued support of our school community.
