STUDENTS, staff, parents, governors and supporters of Altwood CE School joined in a service of blessing and dedication for a new chapel.
The service was led by the Revd Jeremy Harris, priest at All Saints, Maidenhead. The new chapel and garden are dedicated to St Francis of Assisi and the values evident in The Prayer of St Francis mirror those the school aspires to.
After the service there was another celebration with refreshments and members of the Christian Union describing how to make best use of the new space.
“It’s a place to express your feelings. It’s a place to escape from everything and have a chance to just fill your mind with good thoughts,” said Tamsyn Norval, from Year Seven.
