St Peter’s and St Paul’s Church, Blockley
The school enjoys close links with Blockley Church, and the Revd Canon Dana Delap regularly visits the school.
We enjoy the church community providing ‘Open the Book’ assembly on Tuesdays. This is where Bible stories are acted out in a way that children can access and understand. These interactive, fun assemblies are thoroughly enjoyed by the children, and staff, and always have a strong Christian theme.
The school regularly holds end of term services in church as well as Harvest, Easter and Christmas celebrations.
The church community provide interactive learning sessions for the pupils based around the Christian calendar. These include ‘Experience Easter’, ‘Experience Pentecost’ and ‘Experience Harvest’ which is held at the local allotments.
The school and the church work in partnership to celebrate and remember important events.
We gather for a whole school Collective Worship on Remembrance Day, and place our poppy petals on a white cloth to remind us that the soldiers who died did so to bring peace.
