She said: "They thought it was fantastic that he loved playing the guitar and had been in a band before he joined the church.
“It was an honour to have the bishop visit the school. His message to staff and pupils was an uplifting and inspiring one of hope and aspirations.”
Two of the year six pupils showed him around the school where he was able to learn more about the school and about the ‘State of Being’ curriculum and admire the outdoor space and scenic views.
Filled with praise for the children, the bishop said he would love to visit again and would bring his guitar with him next time.
