PUPILS from St Benedict’s Catholic Primary School, part of the Dunstan Catholic Educational Trust, have been taking kindness to new heights.

The Midsomer Norton school challenged children to complete 25 acts of kindness for this year’s Children in Need.

The youngsters have been spreading smiles at school, at home and throughout the community, from making charity donations and creating kindness posters to holding doors open and helping with shopping.

The school’s mission is to provide an enriching Catholic education that enables children to grow into happy, confident and empathetic individuals. It has now held its first ‘Acts of Kindness Celebration’, where pupils who completed the challenge were recognised with certificates and plenty of praise.
