First Communion
A big thank you to those who supported this year’s First Communion Group by attending the Mass. Congratulations to Eva King Smith, Liberty Deaville, Hannah Dawson and Olivia Brettell. We are very proud of them. Particular thanks to Mr Davis and Mrs Williams for preparing the children and organising the service so beautifully.
Family Quiz Night
A huge thank you to all those involved in making the quiz night such a successful and fun evening. It felt good to put the grey matter to the test!
The fish and chips were delicious too. Thank you to the Christodoulous for supplying the food. This was a really great way of raising £450 for school funds.
