On Tuesday, our Year 5 pupils enjoyed a truly enriching school trip to Leicester Cathedral, where they took part in a spirituality workshop at St Martin’s House, followed by a cathedral tour and the opportunity to attend a Eucharist service.

During the workshop, the children reflected on the importance of taking time each day to feel gratitude, appreciate calm moments and understand peacefulness. At the Cathedral, they learned about its history, including the remarkable story of the recovery and reburial of King Richard III — with much excitement when they were able to touch his tomb.

This thoughtful visit supported our Religious Education curriculum, deepening pupils’ understanding of spirituality, places of worship and the Christian faith, while encouraging reflection and respect for different traditions.

A special shoutout to all our Year 5 pupils for their exemplary behaviour throughout the day. Their respectfulness and curiosity were praised by leaders and clergy alike — we couldn’t be prouder. A wonderful day, thoroughly enjoyed by all.
