In Sunday School we explore and learn about the themes & topics of the Bible, making things which reflect what the Bible is saying using colours and Bible related images and drawings. Bringing the topics to life by having the opportunity to participate in a very short display at the end of the service with the children explaining what they have been learning about that morning.
At the beginning of the Mass the children receive their Bible from the priest during the opening hymn. They return to Mass at the end of the service. Having spent the service at the back of the church in the children's area.
The teaching follows the liturgical calendar, or theme, over a few weeks. Sunday School meets during term time with breaks for Easter, Summer and Christmas. This allows leaders time to enjoy the mass and also for the children to attend if they would like to.
There is a carpeted area along the South pews which is available for children to sit during the service with supervision from one of the safeguarding team. Children's books about the Christian faith in addition to other books, various toys are kept there.
