Pupils from across the school came together to present a moving Easter Passion Play, retelling the journey of Jesus from Palm Sunday through to his death and resurrection. Every class in the school took part, making the event a true community celebration of the Easter story.
Each part of the story was narrated and acted by  different children, ensuring the whole school was involved in bringing the Gospel message to life. Some pupils also formed a choir and sang beautifully throughout the performance, adding to the atmosphere.
A special highlight of the performance was the presence of two donkeys, who helped lead Jesus on his journey, bringing the story vividly to life for the audience.
The children performed exceptionally well, showing confidence  and great enthusiasm.
Around 200 parents and members of the community attended as the congregation, gathering together to share in the performance. With the sun shining throughout the event, the atmosphere was joyful and uplifting, perfectly reflecting the message of hope at the heart of Easter.
Staff, pupils and families were incredibly proud of the children, whose teamwork and dedication made the Passion Play a memorable and meaningful experience for everyone involved.
