This Week

On Thursday, we celebrated together the feast of the Ascension of the Lord.

On Wednesday evening we celebrated the Vigil with Evensong, sung once again beautifully by the Schola Cantorum. It is wonderful to see this becoming such a permanent feature of our Prayer and Liturgical life in the school.

Our main celebration was on Thursday when both the Prep and Senior Schools joined together with parishioners from our local parish to celebrate Mass together. It was wonderful to see the whole community joining together to raise our hearts and minds to God.

The feast of the Ascension, marking the forty day period following Jesus resurrection, was that occasion, after that period of teaching following the resurrection, when Jesus left his earthly life to return to his place at the right hand of God in glory. We struggle to fully grasp the physical elements of this. The Gospel writers speak of ‘clouds’, ‘ascending upwards’ and ‘angels in white garments.’ Each reflects that firm belief in a heavenly realm that Jesus has now returned to.

Fr Stephen in his homily reminded us of the reason for Jesus ascension. While on earth, Jesus, who was fully God, was also fully human and, as such, was limited by his humanity. His mission was to a small area of the Middle East, and his followers were limited to that region. But by returning to heaven, he opened the way for the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost that would enable the message of the Gospel to be spread all over the world. In a very real way, we give thanks that we, two thousand years later, in a land far away, share in the joy of receiving and celebrating that Gospel.

We hope that you have had a good week.

As the weather has become unpredictable, please make sure your child brings a raincoat for riding if the forecast is showing thick clouds or rain, and if it’s due to be hot then make sure they are wearing a shirt that covers their shoulders. It has been so variable lately that the staff are still bringing all their coats, just in case!

If there are any school trips or events that your daughter will be doing instead of riding, then please let the office know by phone or by email. If you wish to cancel a lesson, we do require 48hrs notice or more in order to offer credit. Any later and we are unable to fill the slot with a rider for a catch up lesson or off the waitlist.

May Half Term

The half term dates are available to book!

Have a look on our online site to book your spaces now!

Charlie has been feeling under the weather for the past week, so he has been having a break and has not been doing lessons. Good news, is that Tess is back! Her first day was last Thursday and we are pleased that she is back working at STE again!

Last Saturday, Wizard, Roxy and Oliver had a physio treatment and really enjoyed it, so they will have been more comfortable this week for their lessons.

The horse of the week is… Charlie!
