Loving Father,

we give you thanks for our school community at Bishop Challoner School

and for the many gifts you have given us.

Bless the students, staff and governors of our school and their families

as we begin a new school year;

deepen our faith and help us to grow in love of You and of one another.

Give us the grace to follow the teaching of Bishop Challoner

and to strive to do ordinary things extraordinarily well.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
