Year 6's current programme of study in Religious Education looks at the practical application of spiritual belief, with a particular focus on the Quaker origins of Oxfam and the idea of a way of life that rejects the notion of religious hierarchy and instead embraces  a 'direct relationship' with God - without clergy, scripture, idols, objects or regulation.

      On Thursday, the girls visited our local Friends Meeting House to interview two Quakers who were delighted to answer a range of pre-prepared questions about their lifestyle, sense of service, priorities and practices, as well as the value of SILENT CONTEMPLATION.

      This was a very interesting study visit - well done to the girls who listened and spoke so carefully, and thank you to everyone who brought a donation to help Nottingham Quakers in their efforts to support the local homelessness charity, the Friary.

      Thank you to everyone who attended our first used and nearly-new uniform sale last week; there was a great choice of preloved  garments and some of the funds raised have already been pledged to a local homelessness charity by our Year 6 Sisters of Charity.

     We now hope to hold a sale two or three times a year,  helping families to save time and money, and to reduce their carbon footprints by rehoming clothes that still have plenty of wear left in them.   If you would like to donate items for this project, please bring them to Mrs Sail or Miss Morley and kindly ensure that any name tags are removed first.
