Abbey House Visit
Over the last 20 years, it has been a tradition for the children from Year 6 to visit Abbey House Nursing Home. We usually visit twice each term participating in a Communion Service and spending some time with the residents. Last Friday was Year 6 first visit to Abbey house. A very big thank you to all the support we have received from the parents in Year 6 who have kindly volunteered their time to drive students to Abbey House. Year 6 look forward to our many visits over the coming year.
