Celebrating our Patron Saints

Patron saints are chosen as protectors or guardians and traditionally these people were viewed as someone to aspire to, as an image of how to live life well.  

St Francis of Assisi loved nature and wildlife so he was made the patron saint of animals. 

Many nations of the world have a Patron Saint ... I wonder who is yours? 

March 1st each year is St David's Day. St David is the Patron Saint of Wales.

On March 17th, we will celebrate St Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland. Below are the students who all received 'green' prizes at TABLEtalk, after finding one of our hidden four-leaf clovers.

In Medway we usually celebrate St George's Day (April 23rd) by taking students to the local English Festival. What a shame it won't happen again this year 😕😕

And last, but not least, November 30th each year is a great time to celebrate the Patron Saint of Scotland, St Andrew, by eating haggis, tatties & neeps and having a go at some ceilidh dancing.
