Ashlyn is very much a part of our school community even though she lives almost 2000 miles away in the Philippines. Together as a school we sponsor her learning and well-being through the charity Compassion UK. Each class takes it in turn to host a fundraising event to meet the cost of sponsorship. We also make sure Ashlyn knows she is one of us by writing to her.

Prayer Wall

A very busy part of our school is the Prayer Wall. The whole school community contributes to this by writing prayers for others or simply thanking God for ways that they feel God has blessed them.

Prayer Corner

Every classroom has a prayer corner. These are places where children have the opportunity to pause, reflect and pray as they want or need to. They are therefore interactive in character and also explore the Christian Value of the half term.

Love Life Love Lent

At West Pennard we mark the church calendar and this was the case in Lent  when we used the Church of England’s publication Love Life Live Lent.  We were challenged by the Love Life Live Lent publication. It offers the opportunity to think of others and how we as individuals can make a difference both in our homes and in our communities. So instead of giving up something for ourselves we have been proactive in helping others for example, in doing jobs around the house.
