Ash Wednesday – The Beginning of Lent

18th Feb 2026

Today our school gathered together for a very special and reverent Ash Wednesday service. This marked the beginning of Lent, a time when we think about being kind, making good choices and helping others. Pupils and staff joined together in a quiet reflection, before ashes were placed on our foreheads, reminding us of hope, renewal, and the journey towards Easter. It was a peaceful and thoughtful start to this meaningful season in our school community.
