Grandparents' Day 2023
Grandparents and parents joined the children & staff for a very enjoyable Grandparents' Day on Friday 27th January as part of Catholic Schools Week. We began with the senior pupils delivering the first decade of the Rosary, followed by prayers, music and singing and then a very enjoyable questions and answers session amongst the pupils and their grandparents. The children learned many interesting things about school life in the past such as how schools were heated, what they had for lunch, the playground games they played and much more. Everyone enjoyed a cup of tea before going home.
