As well as meaning a place of safety, taking refuge can also mean to take enjoyment from an activity and we spent the day enjoying and sharing poems with one another. Many of the staff shared their favourite poems, and the children also wrote and shared their own poems. - ![Candle](https://files.schudio.com/stmichaelscarlisle/images/partners/Candle_(3).png) - ![Tag Line](https://files.schudio.com/stmichaelscarlisle/images/partners/tagline-1.png) - ![PTI](https://files.schudio.com/stmichaelscarlisle/images/partners/PTI_small.png) ##### Location Carlisle Road Dalston, Carlisle Cumbria CA5 7LN ##### Contact Us (01228) 711544 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stmichaelsdalston) - [X](https://twitter.com/St_Michaels_1) © Copyright 2014–2026 St. Michael's C.E.
