School Life

Religious Aspects
We welcome pupils from all faiths and cultures. Religious Education is part of our curriculum throughout the school where lessons aim to foster a balanced knowledge of, and respect for, all major religions.

Regular assemblies are held for all pupils. The emphasis is broadly based on the Christian religion and tends to be ecumenical and moralistic in approach. Harvest Festivals and the annual Carol Service are normally held in the local Parish Church.
