St Godric's Catholic Primary School


Our Stay and Pray sessions got off to a fantastic start this week with Year 1. It was lovely to welcome parents and family members into school to celebrate alongside the children.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and we look forward to welcoming our Year 2 families next week..

 


 

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School


The Friends of St. Thomas More are currently raising funds to support the refurbishment of our outdoor areas. If you shop at Tesco please consider popping an extra few blue tokens into our box!

There are only two weeks left to collect tokens in the stores in Dragonville, Claypath, North Road and Market place. We would love to be the top token collectors to reach the £1500 maximum. Thank you for your support. See the poster at the back of each church.


 



St Leonard's Catholic Secondary School



Well done Kris Bethapudi, year 11 student from St. Leonard's secondary school who  hiked the Snowdon peak on the 10th October and successfully raised a £ 1131 for CAFOD.

The money would be contributed to support underprivileged children across the world. Kris expresses his sincere gratitude for everyone’s generosity and support towards this cause.
