The Role of the Faith Team
The role of The Faith Team is to support the Catholic Life of the School.
They are entrusted with the responsibility of:
• Giving joyful witness of Christ in our school.

• Pastoral care of staff and pupils.
• Assisting with the delivery and development of the prayer life of the school supporting assemblies, class prayer times and prayer groups.
• Developing the use of a chapel for anyone in school to use.
• Being present on parents’ afternoons and/or evenings, and other school events, to help with the welcome of all the community.
• Organising a variety of events to support local, national and international charities, for example: Cornerstone; Cancer charities; Local Food Banks

Hope in the Future On 3rd October, Mrs Dootson and three members of the Faith Team attended Hope in the Future Schools’ Celebration. The theme of the event was ‘Together we are Ambassadors for Christ’. The day was a celebration for all, with key speakers and a liturgy led by Bishop John. Mrs Dootson and the children all enjoyed the day and couldn’t wait to share what they had done when they got back to school. |
 |
Feast of the Holy Rosary Our Faith Team led a whole school assembly dedicated to Our Lady, during which the school joined together to say a decade of the Rosary. During the month of October, the Faith Team also led morning Rosary Sessions. The sessions were held from 8:30am and all who attended received their own Rosary Beads. The children were excited by this, and they were well attended. |
 |
Remembrance Day During the week before Remembrance Day, The Faith Team have co-ordinated the British Legion poppy appeal. The Faith Team also lead a liturgy for each class. The liturgy involved all children laying poppies as a mark of respect.
