School's out for the Summer!

Leicestershire schools finished for the summer last Friday and Nottinghamshire schools will finish this week, so please watch out for lots of youngsters enjoying their holidays.

Last week we said 'Goodbye' to Revd Claire Goode and her family who are moving to 'pastures new'.  Our prayers and good wishes go with them.

Update on the R.E.A.C.T petition
Over 140,000 people signed the petition to include Religious Education in the new English Baccalaureate. 
It was presented by 6 MPs to 10 Downing St on June 29th.
113 MPs have signed an Early Day Motion in support of the issue.
MPs and senior Peers continue to speak out in parliament and publicly on the importance of including RE in the English Baccalaureate.  The Government are planning to make their position clear on this issue by the summer parliamentary recess. Thank you to all who signed this petition. Please continue to pray that the right decision will be made.
