‘Pupils feel a strong sense of community.’
The God Who Speaks
This academic year the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales have designated 2019-2020 as ‘The God Who Speaks – A Year of the Word’ to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Verbum Domini – Pope Benedict XVI’s Apostolic Exhortation on ‘The Word of the Lord’, and the 1600th anniversary of death of St. Jerome, who translated the Bible into Latin. In keeping with the Church’s three-year cycle, there will also be a specific focus on St. Matthew’s Gospel.
The aim of The God Who Speaks – A Year of the Word is ‘Celebrating, Living and Sharing God’s Word.’ It will be an opportunity in our school to enrich current scripture practices and to develop and explore new ways of responding to the Bible. We will have a focus on our School Houses - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as well as themed activities on the texts within these Gospels.
Our focus started with a whole school assembly using the PowerPoint linked below.
