Spiritual Garden
Our spiritual garden is a very special place in our playground where children can go to be still, reflect and pray. Every child in the school has designed and made a personalized pebble which can be taken out of the tray and held whilst they are in the garden. The garden has many special features what were designed and chosen by the children, including features that have been included by past pupils who have moved onto the High School. Every child is presented with their pebble to take with them in the next stage of their life’s journey along with a Bible that is presented to them at the Leavers’ service in Church.
Worship space in our School Atrium
When we moved to our new school, in 2010, it was important for us to create a worship space, as we were physically moving away from Holy Rood Church.
We are so pleased with our etched glass window and the space created in our school atrium. It is such a special, calm space within our beautiful school building.
Harvest Festival Church Service
All of the donated tinned, canned and dried food items will be donated to Blandford Food Bank, living out the school vision of ‘supporting families’.
We would like to thank Rev’d Andrew for leading the service.

Makaton Blessing
Makaton users from across the UK have come together to sign our Makaton UK Blessing. Watch faces fill with joy while communicating and worshipping together. Let’s share this to encourage churches to include more Makaton in their services and groups to support comprehension. Over 100,000 children & adults use Makaton in the UK. Click on the link below:
