Seven of the twelve governors are Foundation Governors appointed by the church, including our vicar James. We are building an ever closer relationship with the school, which is just across the road from the church, and the children often use the church for special services and curriculum activities.

Children love stories and “Open the Book” is way of presenting and exploring the stories from the Bible in primary school assemblies that are lively, engaging, informative and fun. From the grand Old Testament stories of Noah, Abraham, Moses and Daniel, to the life of Jesus and the parables he taught, our team of church volunteers bring these stories alive using drama, mime, props and costumes. Children and teachers also enjoy joining in the action, and together we discover the relevance and significance of God’s Word in the Bible to our everyday life.
Arundale School is an LEA ‘community school’ a fully inclusive school which aims to provide the best possible learning environment and opportunities for all its pupils. The “Open the Book” team stay in the school after the assembly and run a very popular lunchtime craft club, further exploring the Bible story.
