• 80th Anniversary of VE Day

  Thu 08 May 2025

  As a school, we all commemorated VE day by wearing the colours of the union Jack, participating in a live online assembly to learn more about Victory in Europe and by showing our respect for all those involved, with a two minute silence.

  

• Congratulations to our First Holy Communion children!

  Wed 07 May 2025

  We are so proud of all the boys and girls who received their First Holy Communion last month. It was a beautiful and joyful occasion, and a very special step in their journey of faith. We pray that Jesus, whom you received in the Eucharist, will always be your guide and friend. Well done to each and every one of you!

  

• VE Day Flag Raising Ceremony

  Thu 01 May 2025

  To begin commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day, coming up on the 8th May, the History Pupil Voice children were lucky enough to be invited to Barking Town Hall's flag raising ceremony and even helped raise the flag! After this, the children were invited inside, where they had the opportunity to chat with the Mayor of Barking and Dagenham, who also introduced them to the future mayor. They enjoyed tasty refreshments while they met many councillors and heard about their roles. It was such a special occasion, which all of the children thoroughly enjoyed being a part of.
