Information for Parents

Church of England schools offer high quality education within a Christian context. They are in the main community schools with a Christian character serving the needs of the local area.

As with all maintained schools in England they:

• teach Religious Education in line with the locally agreed syllabus, and
• hold acts of collective worship every day.

In addition, Church of England Schools provide:

• education underpinned by Christian values;
• a culture guided by the Christian way of life;
• care of each individual as a unique part of God’s creation;
• close links with the community;
• partnership with the local Anglican church and congregation.
