Welcome to St. Beghs Catholic Junior School

Come and see what we have done!!

Carrs Flour has joined forces with Cumbria Healthy Schools to launch the first-ever Junior Breadmaker Awards (2005) sponsored by Panasonic.
Carrs Flour and Cumbria Healthy Schools are working with six primary schools, throughout Cumbria.
In July 2005 a group of children from St. Begh's took part in this competition and made it through to the final where they visited Lumley Castle for a medieval banquet.

This is a tapestry designed and made by year 5 pupils.

For our tapestry we had the month of November, so on it you will find animals hibernating, fireworks by the bonfire, a starry frosty sky, falling leaves, a remembrance poppy and a tree with bare branches. We also show our St Begh's school badge.
