Stations of the Cross service
Year 6's Stations of the Cross service, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings to the Year 6 parents and KS1 and KS2 respectively.
Despite both Year 6 teachers being new to the school and having not seen this service take place here, I can honestly say that, in all my years being associated with St Edmund's, it was the best Stations of the Cross I have seen. This was led and organised by Ms Freitas, who brilliantly added some poignant, beautiful touches to further enhance the feeling of sorrow and prayerfulness to the service. The choir, led by Mrs Pope, were outstanding and pitch-perfect in their accompaniment to the retelling of the story and the readers and actors were loud, clear and appropriately sombre. And, because Year 6 set the right tone, the atmosphere from the rest of the school, in both services, was impeccably prayerful and respectful and, thus, understanding of the sadness of the story and Jesus' love for us.
