Year 6 pupils demonstrated fantastic creativity, teamwork and enterprise skills as part of their Entrepreneur Project. They worked hard to create and sell a variety of products, including homemade lemonade, fudge, bookmarks and 3D-printed items. The project was a great success, with students showcasing their business skills while raising money for a worthy cause. We are incredibly proud of their enthusiasm, initiative and dedication throughout the project. A huge well done to all of the Year 6 entrepreneurs for their hard work and effort in raising over £400. All proceeds raised will be donated to Katherine House Hospice, helping to make a positive difference in the wider community.

Throughout the celebration, children participated respectfully through readings, singing and prayer. The Mass reminded us of their importance of faith, perseverance and standing up for what is right, just as Saints Peter and Paul did.
