Community Links
All Saints Church
We have established strong links with All Saints church, Darfield. Reverend Fiona is a member of our governing body and visits school regularly to deliver collective worship, attend meetings and work with pupils and parents. We also welcome a group from All Saints church regularly to deliver ‘Open the Book’ as part of our collective worship. In addition to welcoming members of the church community into school, staff, pupils and parents visit church at least four times a year for whole school church services- Harvest, Christmas, Easter and Y6 Leavers. Pupils also visit the church to enrich parts of our RE curriculum. We work together to organise events such as Christingle workshops with parents and tree planting in the church yard.
