Ash Wednesday

15 February 2018 (by Owens (steven))

This year classes 3 and 4 joined the congregation at All Saints Church to mark the beginning of Lent.

The children, accompanied by many of the staff, walked to church on Wednesday morning to take part in the Ash Wednesday service led by Canon Peter Dadd. It was an important occasion in the Christian Church as we begin the journey towards Easter. The children were attentive throughout the service; listening to the teaching, joining in the responses and raising their voices to join with the congregation to sing the hymns. As they went to the altar to kneel and receive the ash cross, they were reflective returning to their seats in silence. As always, the pupils were a credit to the school.
