The visit began with a whole-school assembly, where pupils gathered for a peaceful time of prayer. Their reverence and enthusiasm made the moment truly special. Afterwards, Bishop Stephen toured every classroom, answering thoughtful questions from our pupils. They were curious about his journey to becoming a Bishop, his daily responsibilities, and what he enjoys most about his ministry. The visit concluded with a lively discussion with our **School Council**, who shared their roles and ideas for the future. This experience gave our young leaders a chance to shine and learn from an inspiring figure in our faith community. *At St Charles, we value opportunities that deepen our spiritual understanding and strengthen our sense of community.* [Catholic Life](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/catholic-life) [School Council](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/news/tag/school-council) [St. Charles Robotics Club: Year 6 Pupils Take on the Challenge! ](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/news/2025-11-25-st-charles-robotics-club-year-6-pupils-take-on-the-challenge) ![St Charles Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-charles-catholic-primary-school-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Charles Catholic Primary School Durham Road Spennymoor County Durham DL16 6SL 01388 814285 - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stcharlesrcvaprimary/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stcharles_spennymoor/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Charles Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stcharles.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
