Anniversary Celebration Event
29/03/2019

On Friday 22nd March, around two-hundred people gathered at St Christopher’s for an event which formed part of the school’s jubilee year, celebrating sixty years of dedicated service to Hyndburn. Current staff and pupils were joined by former colleagues and pupils for a special ‘Open Evening’, with guided tours and a Holy Communion, presided at by The Bishop of Burnley, Philip North.

The evening provided an opportunity for those with a vested interest in St Christopher’s to tour the school, visit their old haunts and share many warm memories of their time there, spend some time picking through the photographic archive, containing images from each of the six decades the school has been open and take part in what is still a vital part of life at St Christopher’s - an act of collective worship.

Headmaster, Mr Jones said of the event:

“It was a joy to catch-up with so many former pupils and members of staff and to be reminded of the wider community of St Christopher’s. Where other schools have been rebranded, renamed or taken over St Christopher’s, for sixty years, has been true to its foundation – providing an excellent quality of Church school education for families throughout East Lancashire. We now look forward to our 75th anniversary!”

There are many more events planned in celebration of this wonderful milestone in the school’s history, culminating in a service at Blackburn Cathedral on Thursday 18th July, which the entire school community (over twelve hundred people!) will attend.
