As a church school, our Christian character is important. We have close links with Holy Trinity Church in Woodbury Salterton and Christian values form the foundations for all aspects of school life.

The school shares in a daily act of Christian Worship, which usually led by a member of the teaching staff. Twice a week we worship in the village Church and occasionally the parish vicar joins us to lead worship.

Children are encouraged to become actively involved in worship and take the lead in our major celebrations.

We promote spirituality through our ethos of respect for others, care for our world and discussing the big questions.

Under the provisions of the Education Reform Act 1988 all parents have a right to withdraw their child from the School’s daily ‘Collective Act of Worship’.

 

These short services, geared especially to children , are held every third Sunday of the month . They start at 9.30 with breakfast – croissants, coffee and squash – and then the actual service lasts 30- 40 mins. Children are encouraged to take part in reading prayers if they wish to do so.

Church Choir

The church choir meets on Wednesday evenings from 6.30 till 7 in church. New members are always welcome including school children from 6 years old and up, particularly when they can cope with reading the words in the hymn book. They do not meet in the school holidays.

 

 

 

 

In September we welcome our new vicar, Revd. Lewis Eden, and his wife Catherine.

Our church is one of the seven churches in the White Cross Mission Community so it will take some time for Lewis to get to know us all.

Lewis and Catherine were married last April and will make their home in the Vicarage in Woodbury. Lewis has expressed a particular interest in our schools so we look forward to his support. The Mission Community is hoping soon to employ a Family Worker, who it is hoped will also support our schools.
