Today is Ash Wednesday which marks the start of Lent, a 40-day period of prayer, fasting, and reflection, for Christians, leading to Easter. Lent is observed by many Christians around the world with some choosing to fast, give something up, or take on new acts of prayer, service, and generosity as they prepare for Easter.
We recognise that Lent, which continues until Maundy Thursday, 2nd April, is a meaningful commitment for those who observe it, and we wish to extend our understanding and support to members of our school community, and their families, who are marking this important time in the Christian calendar.
