Please be in touch, at ‘intouch’, if you’d like further details.
Inter-faith issues: good discussions on Monday!
More positive news for Broughton, reports John Cudlipp, from Monday’s inter-faith meeting at school, when the higher Philosophy pupils got a chance to drop in. Present was David Chillingworth, Anglican Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld, and Dunblane, who is full of praise in his blog this morning for our young people’s enthusiasm and goodwill in discussion. Our thanks to all who attended, and we are very proud of how our pupils pitched in!
