Teacher travels part 3!
After a trip to the zoo last week, Mrs Short visited the London Oratory for Mass and stayed a while to appreciate the beautiful building.
Have you visited anywhere special this summer?

Did you manage to see the solar eclipse yesterday? We'd love to see your photos of you enjoying this event - did you get glasses or use another alternative? Here are some from our staff...

Mr Page was lucky enough to see some of the spectacular festivities in honour of St. Mary of Portosalvo when he saw the solemn procession with the Statue of the Madonna. (Videos in comments)

We'd love to see what wonderful things you've seen and done over your summer break too!

It's the parish BBQ and family fun day today: delicious food, games, bouncy castle and more! At Lords Croft from 12noon, after Mass! We'll be there and hope you will too!

Thank you to our amazing pupils and parents for the wonderful cards, messages and gifts. Our staff are especially loving how beautiful the flowers look in our homes, and are a perfect reminder of the joy we've had in seeing each and every one of our pupils flourish! 💐

We've had a busy last few days so watch this space to see all the fun we've had. 📷

Thank you and have a wonderful summer! ☀️

Well done 👏👏
