Staff Prayer Time

Every Friday morning, our staff gather for scripture led prayer to reflect on the week and bring a sense of calm to our busy lives. It also reminds us that Christ is at the centre of all that we do. It is led by a different member of staff each week.

Many children in their Guide/Scout uniforms for Thinking Day. Thinking Day is celebrated annually on the 22nd February around the world. It is a day that they think about: -their 'brothers and sisters' in all the countries of the world. -The meaning of Scouting and Guiding and its global impact. This year's theme is "Becoming More Environmentally Conscious" which links with our Catholic Social Teachings. #catholicsocialteaching #cst #guidesandscouts
