Beech House School celebrated harvest recently with a gathering of the whole school from Reception to Year 11 in the Sports Hall at the Manchester Road site.

Many parents and pupils have been exceptionally generous this year and we were able to heap our tables high with gifts of food, which were later taken to Petrus House in Rochdale to help feed the homeless of the local area.

Pupils had practised harvest hymns, readings and prayers and it was a very joyous occasion when all their careful preparation came together in a celebration of the harvest and to thank God for providing an abundant supply of food for us.

We were joined for the event by several notable visitors; of course, many parents took time out of their busy daily lives to join us, but we were also happy to again welcome the Vicar of Rochdale, the Reverend Mark Coleman.

Rev’d Coleman delivered a most appropriate address to pupils, led us in prayer and blessed the gifts the pupils had brought.

He said: “It was a delight to meet together on this occasion and hope that, in our small way, we can continue to work and worship together with the representatives of our local faith communities.”
