Make me a channel of your peace Where there is hatred let me bring your love Where there is injury, your pardon Lord And where there is doubt true faith in You #organbeltingout

Blest are the pure in heart, For they shall see our God; The secret of the Lord is theirs; Their soul is Christ’s abode. The Lord, who left the heavens Our life and peace to bring, To dwell in lowliness with us Our pattern and our King. #organbeltingout

O Godhead hid, devoutly I adore Thee, Who truly art within the forms before me; To Thee my heart I bow with bended knee, As failing quite in contemplating Thee. #organbeltingout

Strength and protection may thy Passion be; O Blessed Jesus, hear and answer me; Deep in thy wounds, Lord, hide and shelter me; So shall I never, never part from thee. #organbeltingout

In the heavenly city bright none shall need created light you, its light, its joy, its crown, you its sun which goes not down; there for ever may we sing alleluias to our King. #organbeltingout #Epiphany

One of the greatest challenges facing school governance is convincing board members that they need to govern between meetings rather than just during them. I get we're unpaid but our children only get one chance. And it's us. Those wheels must constantly turn if we are to be our best.

A discussion always worthy of debate, but once again missing the voice of the child. Research tells us that fun is by far the greatest motivation for children in sport, yet it is consistently adults who jeopardise that positive experience.

Hark! a herald voice is calling: 'Christ is nigh' it seems to say; 'Cast away the dreams of darkness, O ye children of the day!' Startled at the solemn warning, Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling Shines upon the morning skies. #organbeltingout

Pan seared calves liver with crispy bacon, balsamic and ale onions, mashed potatoes and cavalo nero

Lamb keema and potato curry with garlic and coriander naan. Let's just say it was warming.

It will be interesting to see if the lure of free breakfasts has any impact on attendance and to more specifically punctuality, especially in families where education is not particularly elevated in importance.
