Father Nithin blesses our classrooms! -  January 2026

     

   

On St Kentigern's Feast Day, Father Nithin kindly came into school and blessed all of our classrooms.

He prayed with the staff and children in each class then blessed the classrooms with holy water. Every year group was given a new Bible which Father Nithin also blessed.

Thank you to Father for this wonderful experience for our children.

 

St Kentigern's Feast Day -  13th January 2026

          

                                        

We celebrated St Kentigern's Feast Day by attending a whole school mass together, during which we learnt more about our special Saint. The children then took part in learning in their classrooms all about 'St Mungo' (St Kentigern's nickname!). Here are some examples of the wonderful learning they did.

 

The Blackpool Family of Catholic Schools - Advent Service - 2nd December 2025

                                 

A group of Key Stage 2 children from our School Choir attended the annual Advent Service held this year at Christ the King Catholic Church. There were ten schools who came together to share key parts of the Gospel, telling the story of the lead up to Jesus' birth and beyond. Our school read from Luke 2:8-14, reflecting on when the angels appeared to the shepherds. They then sang a beautiful rendition of 'While Shepherds watch their flocks by night'.

The whole event was a wonderful celebration of Advent and Christmas and it was truly special to share it with so many other schools from our Catholic family. A huge well done to our pupils who represented the school excellently!

Little Way Week - 29th September 2025 - 3rd October 2025

       

This week, we are celebrating Little Way Week in school. This special week is inspired by St Therese of Lisieux who showed us how through faith, hope and love we can make a big difference in our world, no matter how small we may be.

In assembly this morning, the whole school learnt about St Therese and the importance of being kind to others. Kyra, our school kindness ambassador, is pictured here with kindness tokens. During Little Way Week, staff will be giving these tokens out to children who they can see showing kindness to others.

BEBCMAT Shared Liturgy - 19th March 2025

    

In March, four of our Year 6 pupils went to Holy Family Primary School to take part in a shared liturgy with other children from five other primary schools across our Trust - The Blessed Edward Bamber Multi Academy Trust (BEBCMAT). Our Trust, which includes St Mary's Catholic High School, is now made up of 17 schools in total.

The shared liturgy morning was a wonderful opportunity to meet other children from within our Trust and work alongside them. The children took part in shared liturgy planning, which was a great chance to share knowledge, experiences and prayer. We also visited Holy Family's Church and celebrated mass together.

Our St Kentigern's children represented us brilliantly, showing reverence, respect and enthusiasm. We look forward to more opportunities in the future to collaborate with our Trust schools.

 

Pilgrims of Hope - Catholic Schools Lenten Service - 11th March 2025

    

On 11th March, we hosted 'Pilgrims of Hope' - the local Catholic Schools Lenten Service with students from St Mary's Catholic Academy, St Kentigern's, St Bernadette's, St Teresa's, St Cuthbert's, St John Vianney, Holy Family, Our Lady of the Assumption, Christ the King and St John's, Poulton. Each school prepared a focused reflection and shared this the congregation.

We take this opportunity to thank all the students involved for their reflections and songs and to all the school staff who supported them. In this Jubilee Year of Hope we pray together; Hope, perfect hope is the gift of Christ our Lord. Thus says the Lord will the world know my friends. Hope, perfect hope, is the gift of Christ our Lord.
