A heartfelt thank you to Oliver, who joined Edie and Henry at the end of the worship to share what life is like living with cerebral palsy. His courage, honesty, and positivity were truly inspiring. Oliver also took a moment to thank everyone for joining in the celebration – and kindly made sure that every child had a green sticker to wear, helping to mark this special day together.

International Charity Day

We were also absolutely amazed by the generosity shown on Friday, as we came together to celebrate International Day of Charity. The quantity and quality of food donated was truly heartwarming.
This afternoon, Mrs. Rankin accompanied our four House Captains to deliver the donations to the Food Bank at St. Wilfrid’s Church in Calverton, which works in partnership with The Trussell Trust. While there, they had the opportunity to meet members of the local community, including some who benefit directly from the food bank.
Everyone was incredibly grateful for your kind and thoughtful donations. Thank you for making a real difference!
