Today, Friday 13 November, we are coming together to celebrate 75 years of Austin Friars with a special Anniversary Service at Carlisle Cathedral.

The service will bring together pupils, parents, staff, former pupils and friends of the school for an afternoon of thanksgiving and celebration, reflecting on our history, the people who have shaped our community and looking ahead to the future.

The service will include music, readings, reflections and prayers, with contributions from pupils and members of our school community.
