October 1, 2024

L-R: Deacon Jon Harman, Julie Oldroyd (Director of Education), Fr Nick Harden, Sydney Bridges (Head of School), Peter Edgington (Executive Head), Fr David Murphy and Bishop Richard.

On Sunday 29 July, St Richard’s Catholic Primary School in Chichester celebrated the induction of Peter Edgington and Sydney Bridges as Executive Head and Head of School in a joyful Mass celebrated by Bishop Richard.

Governors and staff participated in the Mass, in St Richard's Church, and pupils sang A Prayer of St Richard of Chichester composed by LJ White. Deanery and Bosco Catholic Education Trust colleagues were also present in a congregation that numbered over 350, many of whom joined the celebrations afterwards in the school hall. A beautiful cake illustrated the school mission statement, ‘Know, Love, Serve.’

It was also a special occasion as on that day, Bishop Richard also celebrated fifteen years ordained as Bishop.
