CATHOLIC LIFE
Our School Mission Statement
Our Liturgical Year 2024-2025
At St Bernadette’s our curriculum is underpinned by the events of the Liturgical Year. Our class displays and prayer tables reflect the appropriate Liturgical colour. During R.E. lessons we look at the events of the Church’s calendar and we celebrate many of them through Collective Worship or Class Assemblies.
In May and October the Pupil Chaplains lead weekly session for children and parents to say the Rosary together. We recognise the importance of the seasons of Advent and Lent as times of preparation and hold services in school to help to deepen the children’s understanding of the significant events in Jesus’ life.
