Goodbye @bristolzoogdns! Whilst I fully support the change for future animal welfare - you’ve helped educate & inspire many kids & will be missed. Very glad my son got the opportunity to visit this last year. He loved the monkeys, meerkats, penguins & artic terns!

Thanks to Nuffield Foundation University of Bristol and Sheldon School for the amazing opportunity my Y12 son had over the summer. Would recommend applying for this placement scheme - great experience, trying out science in a higher education setting, confirming choices for next steps.

Which story did we explore this morning Draycot Churches St Peter's Back to School with God service? Thinking about loving God and loving our neighbours. Lovely to welcome new families and back to Langley Fitzurse CofE Primary School for BBQ and delicious cakes donated by Chippenham Pit Stop Thank you!

Well done! Still smiling ; )

Love this from Robert Atwell Diocese of Exeter “Here lies part of the problem: village congregations are invariably small. But a small church is not a failed large church, any more than a satsuma is a failed orange.”
