Sacred Heart Celebrate the Craick of the Irish

Pupils at Sacred Heart RC Primary School in Gorton celebrated St Patrick’s Day on Monday with a special themed menu.

In honour of the day, school meals provider Manchester Fayre, the catering arm of Manchester City Council, served up a delicious menu inspired by the Emerald Isle.

Children tucked into a traditional Irish Stew followed by Colcannon and Soda Bread.

Councillor Bernard Priest, Executive Member with responsibility for school meals said: "We have a very strong Irish community here in Manchester and this was a great way for youngsters to celebrate the day and learn about the Irish culture."

Staff entered into the spirit of St Patrick's Day by serving school meals wearing special shamrock adorned hats and the dining room was decorated with banners and flags to help the celebrations along.
