Ash Wednesday

Today some of the foundation governors visited to see how we mark important events in the Church’s calendar. They arrived in time for the staff Eucharistic service, joined a year Eight form class for prayer at the start of the day and then participated in the Ashes service. They were impressed with the student leadership and involvement in Catholic life.

To mark the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday we gathered as a whole school community for our Ashes service. Every class joined in collective worship to consider the meaning of Lent and then received their ashes from the ambassadors with the reminder to “Turn away from sin and share the good news.”
