Kirby Hill Church

Welcome from the Reverend Alison Askew

Kirby Hill School is a Church of England school, and so Christian values form the bedrock which underpins the school ethos, something which is much valued by parents.

There are strong links between church and school: the church governors play an important role in helping to shape the school, and supporting school events; and the Worship Group come and lead Collective Worship several times a term.

The children all attend a service in church at least once a term, enjoying the opportunity to sing, read their prayers and written work. The children also visit the church for lessons relating to various aspects of the curriculum.

More recently the church and school have worked together on the; highly enjoyable Messy Church events, which are now being held several times a year. ‘Teamstar’ (the school singing group) came to the church Harvest in mid October and delighted us all with their music; we hope they will also come and sing at the church Carol Service in December. Just before Half Term some of the older children attended a service in the Cathedral for church schools, and at the end of the summer term our leavers attended the Leavers’ Service, also at the Cathedral.

We continue to build on the relationship between church and school, and I welcome any suggestions you may have of ways in which we can work together for the good of our young people.

Our School Prayer

Bless our school at Kirby Hill
Bless all the children and adults who work in it
Help us to do our best To be kind and thoughtful to one another
Cheerful and smiling every day
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
