St Wilfrid's R.C.V.A. Primary School
Murphy Crescent, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham
Our children who are in school have been thinking about the important role of our key workers, who are also our mams and dads! We drew pictures of parents in their key roles and made giant rainbows with our handprints to show our thanks.
Thank you to all key workers who are doing a wonderful job at this time – especially all of those who are part of our St Wilfrid’s family.
