Tuesday 24th January 2012 marks the day that Burgh, St Peter & St Paul CE Primary School celebrates the arrival of the Church Schools Candle. Yesterday Miss Smith, Father Terry, Chloe and Adam from Year 6 were invited to assembly at Halton Primary School to receive the Church Schools Candle. The candle has been passing around all the Church Schools in the Lincoln Diocese since the 200 year anniversary of Church Schools marked with a service at Lincoln Cathedral last year. This morning the whole gathered at St Peter & St Paul Church to welcome the candle and hear some of the history of Burgh School. This afternoon we will be holding another service, but this time in school to pass the candle on to another school. Mr Beveridge and children from Wainfleet School will be joining us to celebrate this special event.

Very nice event for the school.
The children said they had a woderful time and enjoyed going to the church. Its brilliat that the school is so involved with the local churches so weel done xx
I really enjoyed the service to celebrate 200 years of church schools. The research that Miss Smith had done about our own school was very interesting. It was lovely to see all the pupils enjoying the hymns in church.
I was fascinated by the log books. A wonderful event and the singing was beautiful too.
