Year Six have had a wonderful day today as part of their Confirmation preparation. The Chaplaincy team from Cardinal Newman School have been in working alongside the children, exploring different aspects of the Creed. The day ended with a celebration of Mass led by Father Andrew. Thank you to everyone involved. (Please see the RE curriculum area for photographs.)
