Our Values and Virtues this half term are Faith - Filled and Hopeful
In Year 5, we are growing to be Faith-filled in our beliefs and hopeful for the future.
We grow by passing on the living and faith-filled tradition of Jesus Christ; by having persevering faith in everyone, and by encouraging each other to have faith and hope in ourselves and others.
Our Class Saint is Josemaria Escriva
