Wallace and Gromit at Portway!

A huge well done to Steve and Hannah from Highgrove Church for dressing up as Wallace and Gromit for a prize giving at Portway School on Monday morning. Inevitably, photos were taken and are below!

Academic Review Day

Here are some photos from Highgrove Church's involvement in the Academic Review Day on Wednesday 21 November.

Every parent and child (over 400 local people) was greeted at the door by someone from Highgrove…


…was registered by the registration team…


…and then served with drinks and cakes and friendly chat by Highgrove volunteers.


17 Highgrove volunteers took part in serving over 500 teas/coffees and hundreds of cakes throughout the whole day and evening (some for the whole 12 hours!)


…and always with a SMILE!



The parents loved it, the school management really appreciated the welcome the parents had received, and the staff felt very blessed by the service.

A massive

Thank You!

to all of you who gave up time on the day or to help with cakes.
