During this season we are preparing for Easter, the most important feast in the Church year. Through the six weeks of Lent, we are called to listen more closely to God and invited to show kindness and love towards others, as well as reflect on the way we live our lives. We are encouraged to take more time to pray, to give something up which we enjoy and to give to those in need.

As we return to school after the Christmas period we have talked to the children about the fresh start that a new year brings.  In assemblies we have reminded the children that we are a faith community whose aim is to live out the Gospel values by showing  love, kindness and tolerance to everyone, as Jesus did.

In November we take special care to remember in our prayers those we have loved who have died.

Education Sunday was celebrated on the 10th September with Churches together in England and Catholic Dioceses across the country. The theme this year is ‘Together in Mission’ and during our RE lessons the children will have an opportunity to reflect on their role in working together as we continue to follow in Jesus’ footsteps. We would ask families to spend some time in prayer as a family using the resources we have sent home.
