Pilgrim Days & Pilgrim Worship events
Update on Yr4 and Yr6 Pilgrim Days and Pilgrim Worship Events for 2021The Pilgrim Days Planning Group met earlier this term to look at Pilgrim Days and Worship Events for 2021. In the current circumstances with Covid 19, it was decided that it would be better to offer a Virtual Pilgrim Day in June for Yr4 and Yr6 children as it would be impossible to maintain social distancing and the necessary hygiene practices in order to run the Pilgrim Days as we know them. Further information will be sent directly to schools in due course. Although it is very sad that we have had to make this decision, please be reassured that it is with the safety and wellbeing of your school communities in mind. We look forward to sharing the virtual offer with you in the summer term. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to email the Pilgrim Days' Coordinator with any queries.

Year 6 Pilgrim DaysAn opportunity for Year 6 children from primary and junior Church schools to attend a Pilgrim Day event and meet together in their Cathedral as they prepare to move on to secondary school.
