My place of work this morning. I love arriving early, before the caretaker, to have a look round, to think and to pray. It's fantastic in silence but even more fantastic just a few minutes later, when filled with children and staff of St Mary's Shenfield. Today we thought about "The kingdom of heaven is ...". Children's views included "my second home", "worth everything", "where I want to be" and we then looked at three kingdom parables.

This is a great school with great children and staff, all with a willing, gracious open-ness.
