• The Collective Worship Project Concert and Album

  Fri 28 Jun 2019

  A concert was recently  held by the school at the local church showcasing new songs the children have learnt in a project sponsored by St Peter's and St Paul's in conjunction with the Red Balloon Foundation.

  The project involved the children learning 6 new songs directed by local musician, Matthew Lowrie, which have been professionally recorded to help with the school's acts of collective worship.

  The recordings are available for downloading from July 5th by heading to the following link :

  www.rbf.org.uk/parishofchingford

  The download costs £5 which will go towards offsetting the costs of the project.

  As well as putting together a concert and an album, the project saw each class provided with a collective worship box containing useful aids for teachers to support worship in the classroom.

  The school would like to thank Father Andy from the church and Luke Lowrie from the Red Balloon Foundation for giving the children this wonderful experience.
