Easter service Thursday 30th March
 
Our Easter Service will be at 9am at St Mary's. Parents are welcome to attend. If you are not able to attend, you can drop and go as staff will be at the church track to guide children inside. Parents dropping off will need to carry on straight ahead please to ease congestion. Parents are welcome to stay for service but unfortunately there will be no refreshments on this occasion as children will remain in church for activities. Parents will need to leave promptly at the end of service so we can prepare for the rest of the morning. Younger siblings are also welcome to attend, but please can we ask that they sit with you / on your lap for safety and to allow everyone to enjoy what the children have prepared for the service. Children will then walk back to school with staff. Lastly, if the children would like to take part, they can create an Easter bonnet. There will be a winner from each year group! Get your creative thinking caps on!
