Wednesday 8 October 2025 Harvest Festival Thank you for your kindness and generosity towards this year's Harvest collection. We had a wonderful service together in church this morning with Class 5 taking the lead and sharing a lovely Harvest poem as well as reminding us of the bible story, 'The Widow's Offering', which underlines the importance of each of us giving what we can - no matter how small. It was fabulous to share our service with so many parents and carers in church - thank you for joining us and you ongoing support. Together in faith, we achieve.
