Year 8 Retreat
On Monday 3rd March a group of young missionaries from NET Scotland spent the day leading a Retreat Day with Year 8. It was a great day during which pupils grew in their knowledge of Prayer and Faith. There was time for fun activities, dramas and small group discussions. Throughout the day, Cranmore pupils encountered the person of Jesus through the missionaries and simply enjoyed getting to know them a little more. Roll on next year where we hope to do the same again.

U13 Shrewsbury House Rugby 7s Winners
Huge congratulations to our U13s rugby side for winning the Shrewsbury House 7s tournament. Having being placed in the toughest pool, the team took a couple of matches to play their best rugby. But, having qualified for the medal draw, Cranmore went on to beat St John's Leatherhead, Thomas's Battersea and Rokeby and were crowned winners. Well done to all who were involved!
The U14s and U16s rugby 7s sides were in action at the Surrey 7s this week, and the U14 hockey side had a great 2-2 draw with Reeds. Tomorrow, four U13 hockey teams face Feltonfleet and the U15s and U16s play St John's Leatherhead.

A Message from our Chaplaincy Team
This Week
A Reading from St Paul’s letter to the Ephesians
Never have grudges against others, or lose your temper, or raise your voice to anybody, or call each other names, or allow any sort of spitefulness. Be friends with one another, and kind, forgiving each other as readily as God forgave you in Christ. Try, then, to imitate God as children of his that he loves and follow Christ, loving as he loved you.
Reflection
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent; we had our service this week. For many, our first reaction when we hear Lent is to ask, ‘What are you giving up?’ with the usual answer being sweets, chocolate, cake and other treats. This is often the way we introduce the idea to young children, but perhaps, as we grow, our understanding of Lent should also grow.
During Lent we are asked to do three things, to and to give. We are encouraged to reflect with deep honesty about three possible areas of our lives on which we could focus our hearts and minds this Lent.
By focusing in this way, we can make sure that we use this season of Lent to leave behind that which hinders us, and to work towards becoming the people we are called to be. Have a good Lent!
Prayer
Lord,
as we begin this holy season of Lent, may we turn back to you with all our hearts, in prayer, in fasting, and in giving alms to the poor; that our sins be forgiven and our hearts mended.
Amen
