We were really fortunate to have Gaynor from 'Let's Go Sing' to come and help us learn some of the songs we will be singing in our concert in March.

The children loved experiencing the different styles of music and learning sign language. 🎵🎤

This October, Mr Price is signing for Prostate United. He will be running 5k every day alongside thousands of other football fans, all taking on the same rival… prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer kills one man every 45 minutes – that's half a football match. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Mr Price is raising money to find better tests and treatments so more dads, partners and mates get the chance to see another matchday.

If you can, please sponsor him. Every donation helps fund lifesaving research for men and their families. We are so proud of you Mr Price! Good luck!

I'm raising money for Prostate Cancer UK by taking part in Prostate United.

We were so blessed to have Rev Sarah O’Donoghue lead us in worship today! She brought us a wonderful message reminding us that unity is a vital part of every strong community, leaving us with so much to reflect on.

We loved joining together in song to sing Jesus’ Love Is Very Wonderful!

We were delighted to receive a message recently about one of our pupils, showing what true sportsmanship is all about.

During a football match, a player on the opposing team was struggling to tie his boot laces. Without hesitation, Ellison walked right over, knelt down, and tied them for him. The parent of the opposing player reached out to share their thanks, highlighting what a considerate gesture it was and calling him a fantastic role model to the other players.

We couldn’t agree more! We are incredibly proud to see our pupils demonstrating such kindness, empathy, and respect, both on and off the field.Well done, Ellison —you are a brilliant example to us all! 👏⚽
