St Bartholomew’s is delighted to welcome the SSPCA to the school today. A representative from the charity will be working with all classes and the children will have the opportunity to learn about animals – familiar and unfamiliar – and their various habitats.

We are now into the second week of Lent. Lent is not simply about giving things up. It’s also about doing those small extra things that bring us closer to God, and prayer is at the heart of this. Please remember that our weekly prayer service takes place in the oratory tomorrow morning at 8.50am. It would be wonderful to see a ‘full house’!

‘Our prayer cannot be reduced to an hour on Sundays. It is important to have a daily relationship with the Lord.’ (Pope Francis)
