Pupils at a school in Yeovil have brought the Easter story to life through a season of prayer, creativity, and community.
Students at St Gildas Catholic Primary School, part of the Dunstan Catholic Educational Trust, marked Lent and Easter with a programme of events designed to deepen faith, build connections, and support those in need.
Mrs Andie Bartley, headteacher at St Gildas, said: "These events reflect the very best of our school community.
"From walking together in faith during Lent, to celebrating creativity and giving back to others, our pupils have shown compassion, joy, and a strong sense of purpose.
"We are incredibly proud of the way they live out our values each day."
Members of the Year Five and Year Six chaplaincy team took part in the Big Lent Walk at Leweston School, combining prayer and reflection with fellowship.
They also enjoyed an Easter egg hunt to cap off the visit.
Back at St Gildas, the whole school community gathered for the Easter Bonnet Parade, with pupils showcasing imaginative and colourful headwear.
Parents and staff joined the celebration, creating a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere.
Pupils also donated to the Lord’s Larder, with the chaplaincy team delivering the gifts to the local church.
The contributions will help support individuals and families within the wider community.
The events are part of St Gildas’ wider commitment to fostering not only academic achievement but also spiritual growth, community involvement, and kindness.
Helen Taylor, CEO of the Dunstan Catholic Educational Trust, said: "It is wonderful to see pupils at St Gildas living out their faith in such meaningful and tangible ways.
"Across the Dunstan Catholic Educational Trust, we are committed to nurturing the whole child, supporting not only academic achievement but also spiritual growth, compassion, and a strong sense of social responsibility."
