When St. Benedict\u2019s opened its doors in 2018, we were fortunate to have the use of some rooms and the hall at English Martyrs Church but our goal was to use the former school on the same site as St. Walburge\u2019s. Unfortunately, this needed a lot of work to repair the effects of many years of neglect and make it suitable. Thanks to our benefactors and following a lot of hard work, we have moved into our new home. <\/span><\/p>\n

We now have five bright and airy classrooms, a kitchen, new lavatory facilities and a large playground, complete with swings and a safe all-weather surface. Two of the classrooms share a sliding wall so we can make one large room if we wish. Everything is fire and safety compliant. <\/span><\/p>\n

We would like to express our gratitude to our benefactors and all those who helped us in so many ways. We couldn\u2019t have done it without you. We thought you might like to see what St. Benedict\u2019s looks like now.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
