We are very lucky to have many visitors into our school this year such as, Alex Dewar, a Paralympian, who inspired the children to believe they can achieve anything they put their minds to, Bishop Paul and Bishop Sarah visited us on their pilgrimage of Newton Aycliffe and answered lots of questions from the inquisitive children. As well as the Director of Education, Durham Diocese, Miss Vernon and Mr Young to name a few. Each visitor has mentioned what fantastic children and staff we have here at St. Francis’, impeccable manners, fantastic role models and all-round shiny personalities. To celebrate the amazing feedback children and staff have received, Mrs Lakey, the headteacher of St Francis’, organised with the Mr. Whippy Ice cream van to give the staff and children a refreshing treat.
