Fantastic Faith Trails today with year 8. A big thank you to everyone involved in the planning especially the Ghausia Mosque and St. John's RC Church. Pupils have explored different features as well as learning about the importance of Faith buildings in the community.

Year 2 had a visit from our Sikh faith friend this afternoon. We found out about her sacred book, Guru Granth Sahib and her special place of worship, the Gurdwara. @B_B_Burnley @BDBofE

☀️ Summer Solstice – the longest day of the year 🌿 Observed by many cultures and faiths, the solstice is a moment to pause, reflect, and reconnect with nature’s rhythms. From ancient traditions to modern gatherings, light has long been a symbol of renewal and hope.
