As part of our continuing partnership with SSAFA Durham, our Year 5/6 pupils were delighted to welcome Mike and Kevin into school this week. Their visit formed another valuable part of our ongoing work with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, helping our children learn about the lives and stories behind local soldiers who served during the First World War.
Last week, our Year 1 and Year 2 children at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Coundon led a beautiful Celebration of the Wordfocusing on the Epiphany — the feast day that remembers the visit of the Three Wise Men to the baby Jesus.
