Christian Ethos
We appreciate that many people will find the coming months very challenging. If we were in school together at a time like this, we would be drawing on lessons from our faith to help us through. Over the course of the next few weeks we will be sharing some videos which we hope will be helpful and will give all members of a school community something to refelct on and think about.
