The Edward Betham C of E Primary School

Founder's Day 2024

Today we celebrated Founder’s Day, starting with an excellent presentation about Edward Betham from 3AD. 3AD told us about Edward Betham's vision: that education should be a right, not a privilege for the rich and well-to-do. 

Each class in Years 1-6 visited the churchyard to give thanks for Edward Betham's gift to us.

 

Dear God,

We thank you for your gift in human form of Edward Betham. We are truly grateful for the education with which the school has provided us. Thank you for the staff who work in Edward Betham School, for carrying on with Edward Betham's vision.

We are blessed that we have had the opportunity to learn so many things whilst being students here. We have been given a wonderful start to our education journey and whilst our branches may spread far, our roots are firmly planted here at Edward Betham.

We thank you, Heavenly Father, for the special gift you gave to Edward Betham and to him for passing that on to us. We pray that this gift grows inside us so we can pass it on to others we encounter in the future.

Amen.
