Festivals
Festivals are a way in which the students, and the wider school community, mark the passing of time through each year and together celebrate the different seasons.
Taking part in transitional festivals taken from cultures across the world is an important part of the curriculum, giving students an understanding and respect for the different cultures of the world. Drawing on many traditions, through the festivals we celebrate our common humanity, not our separateness in belief or practice.
Some of the festivals we celebrate include:
Michaelmas
Rosh Hashanah
Martinmas
Thanksgiving
Diwali
Advent spiral
Chanukah
Candlemas
Easter
Eid
Whitsun
Nowruz
May Day
Komodo no Hi
St John's
