Jessica Newitt, Deputy Head Teacher at Alveston CofE Primary writes:
“I am delighted to share with you some of the wonderful activities and accomplishments of our children at Alveston CofE Primary School.
At the end of the summer, we held an Arts Week with the theme of ‘Community’ – one of our key values. It was a tremendous success. Our children engaged in various creative projects, most notably working with Wayside Willow to create a stunning willow cross, which stands proudly by our new outside reflective area. In addition, some of our children worked together to create a beautiful mosaic of our local church. We loved that we can bring a piece of St James’ into school.
Furthermore, we have been blessed to participate in the Eucharist at our local church. This service provided our children with an invaluable opportunity for spiritual growth and reflection, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of this important sacrament.
Our children have demonstrated remarkable creativity, dedication, and spiritual maturity through these activities, and we are incredibly proud of their achievements. We are grateful for the continued support of our community and the diocese, which makes these enriching experiences possible.”
