St Mary’s have a very close link with their primary school. Today was an opportunity to showcase all the hard work by both pupils and staff as they joined the congregation on Education Sunday. Both school and church communities were able to welcome Kevin Purkiss as the new headteacher as he was commissioned to this role by David Williams from Bath and Wells Diocese.
During the service the School choir sang “A Song for the Children”.
The readings and prayers were led by pupils.
