Confirmation - Lent Term 2025 - Reminder

The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated in the College Chapel in the Lent Term 2025. We are waiting for the Bishop to confirm the date.

Confirmation preparation will begin in October 2024. The preparation takes place over the lunch break. There will be four sessions in the Michaelmas Term and four in the Lent Term. Each 20-minute session will be offered twice during the week to avoid clashes with other activities.

If you would like further information, please email marybenham@princethorpe.co.uk.

Please complete the enrolment form here if you would like to register a pupil for Confirmation.

End Of Term Prayer

The end of another academic year is upon us. Maybe for some, it could not come quick enough as they look forward to eight weeks away from their studies and time to be with their family and friends. For others, this time is a period of transition, moving away from and moving to. Away from Princethorpe after so many years in the Foundation and moving to university or the world of work. Or moving up a Year group on their journey of education. Farewells are a time of mixed emotions, a looking back but the excitement of a new adventure about to begin. To all our students we remember in our prayers as we encourage them to say:

Lord as the summer holidays begin, I give thanks for the past term.
Yes, exams were a burden but now I have time to explore and pursue my interests.
Time to be with those who love me and time to give thanks for their enduring patience.
Time to relax, time to think, time to reflect.
May my summer holidays be a time to think not only of my own needs and wants but that of others.
May the coming weeks be filled with laughter, fun and adventure with family and friends.
May I return renewed and refreshed.
I make this prayer through Christ Our Lord

Amen.
