Every month, Hermitage hosts Bridge the Gap, welcoming older residents, members of a local care home, and parents with pre-school children.

The event brings different generations together, giving everyone the opportunity to connect, share experiences and learn from one another.

Each month, a different class leads the event. We also hold three whole-school celebrations during the year, when pupils perform poetry, a play and the Nativity. Activities include reading together, completing puzzles, making crafts, practising mindfulness and commemorating significant occasions such as Remembrance Day.

Our children look forward to this special event each month. They serve refreshments to members of the local community, enjoy meaningful conversations, collaborate with others and develop positive relationships across generations.
