The Growing Faith Adventure

We are enthused and delighted to take on the challenge of working with a range of partners including our school Parish Church of St Margaret's and All Hallows and SMILE Collective to spread the Good News.

We are beginning our journey of this new initiative with the national education office and our Liverpool Diocese as we look to work even more closely with our churches and our families.

'Growing Faith is actively encouraging ventures and activities which will help normalise conversations about Christian faith, leading opportunities for developing prayer and gathering for worship.'  

If you would like to join us as a volunteer in this project or would like to know more please contact our recently appointed  Growing Faith C-ordinator, Mrs Sue Kirby.

Sue will be working for about 2 half days in this role, and has an office base in the school.
