St Francis Of Assisi Catholic Academy Trust
Nine Schools United in Song at the St Francis Trust Annual Carol Service
All nine schools came together to take part in our annual Trust Carol Service, held at St Augustine's Church. Each school contributed an individual carol, and we also enjoyed singing together as a Trust, alongside the wider congregation. Parents were warmly invited to attend, making the occasion a truly shared celebration.
Over 200 children took part, filling the church with festive spirit and joyful music - a wonderful example of growing in faith together. The service highlighted the huge strength in music with the children and in leadership across our schools, with incredibly talented children and staff supporting and inspiring the pupils. We were delighted to be supported by the St Mary's Band, and a special mention goes to St Cross School, who played the handbells this year and added something extra special to the service.
