On Wednesday 18th December, we visited Leaton Church for the annual Christingle Service. The church was beautifully decorated for the recent Christmas Tree Festival, which added to the lovely atmosphere for the service. Reverend Mary-Lou Toop and Reverend Hannah Lins led prayers and readings, with pupils from Year 6 teaching us about how Christingle started and Pimhill and Haughmond singing a song from their recent Nativity.

The highlight of the event was the whole congregation singing Silent Night with only the light of the candles on the Christingles flickering throughout the church.

The pupils behaved wonderfully, leading to a memorable morning.

Thank you to all parents, carers, friends and pupils who attended our Christmas Fair tonight. Thank you, also, for all of your donations for the stalls!

Santa arrived at about 1.30pm to meet the children in his grotto – we hope you enjoyed meeting him!

We have raised plenty of money towards buying new equipment, books and resources for the school – we are so grateful for your support at events like this!

We will announce how much money was raised as soon as possible!

Thank you to all of the pupils, parents friends and carers who visited the book fair last week. Orders have been sent off and books will be delivered soon!

We really want to say thank you for buying books at the book fair, as it does accrue a welcome income for the school, which in turn will be used to enhance our own range of books and resources!
