A round-up of news from Friends' School Saffron Walden
Hope for Peace During Quaker Schools Week Friends’ School celebrated with a series of events. We hosted a one-day seminar with the Peace Education Network and held a special assembly and workshop with Candia Crossfield, a young Quaker and Peace worker. The Sixth Form attended Meetings for Clearness run by tutors from Woodbrooke, Britain’s Quaker Study Centre, and all students were treated to hot chocolate and Fairtrade cakes at recess. On Thursday, Meeting for Worship took place in all seven Quaker schools in England at the same time and to round off the week fifteen doves were released on Friday, one for every form group at Friends’. Anna Chaudhri, deputy head, said: ‘The entire week was a real celebration of our Quaker values: truth, equality, simplicity and peace.’
