Christian Values - embedded within our school ethos...
"St. Wilfrid's Primary School is an outstanding example of a Christian School. It provides a spiritual, caring and creative learning environment for the children through excellent teaching in RE and high quality provision for collective worship. There are strong reciprocal links with several churches in the village and Christian values are embedded in the life of the school."

COLLECTIVE WORSHIP
ST. WILFRID'S CHURCH
Our school has an active relationship with St. Wilfrid's Church - enjoying regular visits from the vicar and other members of the church community, as well as celebrating collective worship in church each half-term...
Many of our current and past pupils are keen participants in church groups. It was wonderful to support them with our school choir in St. Wilfrid's Church Youth Drama's recent production of the Biblical tale of Jonah.

Our class 'Reflection Areas' are lovely spaces that provide the children with a focus for contemplation; an opportunity to share and structure their thoughts and seek solutions for themselves and others.

Recognising our historic foundations, at St. Wilfrid’s Church of England School we aim to preserve and develop our religious characteristics in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at parish and diocese level.
We aim to serve our community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practices. We encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith. In all aspects of school life, we seek to promote and develop the Christian values and attitudes of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, gentleness and self control (Galatians chapter 5, verses 22 and 23) through the experiences we offer all our pupils.
