'Eat this bread, drink this cup...' More than 220 children between the ages of four and 11 intone the hymn. It's Friday morning, and St Joseph's RC Primary School is holding its weekly Good News Assembly. Except today is different, as the children are practising their welcome for Bishop Alan Hopes when he comes to bless their new school building later this month.
They've waited for 15 years for this spectacular glass and steel construction, beautifully ensconced behind a Pugin exterior - and it was worth it: St Joseph's now looks smart enough to keep up with the neighbours, the well-heeled of Kensington and Chelsea whose local shops include Stella McCartney, Peter Jones and Cartier.
