St Joseph's Catholic Primary School
We are very excited to welcome back the children, staff and parish community after the Easter break.
As we return, we will carry the message that each day is an opportunity to grow, to begin again, and to bring light and kindness to those around us. Let us approach the new term with positive energy, compassion, and a willingness to support one another as a community.
On Wednesday 22nd April the children in Year 5 and 6 will be attending Mass in church at 10am. All families and friends are welcome to attend.
On Friday 24th April all are welcome to attend a SEND coffee morning at 9am in the school hall. This is a relaxed and friendly session and is a chance to ask questions and share experiences with each other.
St Godric's Catholic Primary School
As we enter Holy week, we have lots planned in school, including a Year 1 trip to the Life Centre, an Early Years visit to the library and a whole School decorated egg competition. Or Y6 children will be leading us in Stations of the Cross at 2.30pm on Thursday, in the school hall. Parishioners are welcome to join us.
St Thomas More Catholic Primary School
As we approach Easter, and spend Holy Week in school, we have some very special activities taking place. Firstly, once again, we encourage our families to create an 'Easter Garden' at home and then bring it into school to be judged. We always have a wonderful uptake on this activity and some beautiful, unique, Easter Garden interpretations.
On Thursday 2nd April, we welcome families to join us for The Stations of the Cross, in our school hall. We hope this special Celebration of the Word will help us, as Christians, to grow in our faith - as we embark on a spiritual pilgrimage, through contemplation of the Passion of Christ.
In Class 2 we will be welcoming some visitors from the RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution - to deliver some learning on safety at sea and how the RNLI save lives. We look forward to welcoming our guests on Wednesday 1st April.
Lots of spring and Easter crafts and activities will be taking place in our classroom environments, too. What an egg-citing and action-packed Holy Week.
St Leonard's Catholic Secondary School
St Leonard's Sixth Form Retreat to Ampleforth
On Thursday 19th March our Year 12 pupils joined the 4 other secondary schools across the Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust on a day retreat to Ampleforth Abbey. Joined by Fr Bede, students took part in 4 sessions looking at the history of Ampleforth and reflecting on what is on their 'spiritual radar'. Students had the chance to go on their Emmaus walk as well as ask thought-provoking questions to Fr Bede. We hope everyone on the retreat took away the message that they're deeply loved and prayed for by those around them.
