Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Children and staff attended the Grand Opening of the Jubilee Shelter in the centre of Dunsop Bridge. The shelter was adorned with a big red ribbon and the school’s Chair of Governors, Mrs Amanda Parker, the High Sheriff of Lancashire officially opened the shelter, as children from the school applauded and cheered.
Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, children, staff and local residents had refreshments in the village hall.
To complete the event, Mrs Amanda Parker spoke to all the children at school about her role as High Sheriff of Lancashire. The children were enthusiastic to learn about the special clothing she has to wear, the ceremonies she has attended and very importantly – how many times she has met the Queen – 3 times!
The Holy Father, Pope Francis has invited the whole Church around the world to celebrate an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. As part of the celebration of this special year, the door of Mercy is going around every school in our diocese to allow each and every member of our family of schools to have some part in this Year of Mercy.
We were fortunate enough to be the very FIRST school in our diocese to receive the door of Mercy. On our first day back at school all the children passed through the door in a special liturgy and wrote their own special intentions. Then on the following day the junior children led a liturgy to pass the door on to St Mary’s RC Primary school in Chipping.
