As a Church of England Primary School, we maintain strong and positive links with our local parish church, St. Nicholas in Tillingham. The incumbent, Revd. Steven Poss, is an active member of our Trust Board, providing valuable guidance and spiritual support to all members of staff. He also oversees the quality of Collective Worship and Religious Education lessons throughout the school.
In addition to his role on the Trust Board, Revd. Steven leads our weekly Collective Worship and regularly conducts services in the church for key events throughout the school year, including Harvest Festival, Remembrance Day, Christingle, Ash Wednesday, Easter, and our Year 6 Leaving Service. St. Nicholas Church generously provides leaving gifts of Bibles for all Year 6 pupils, marking their transition from our school.
The church also plays an important role in nurturing pupils’ understanding of Christianity within the local community. Children are encouraged to visit St. Nicholas, participate in charitable activities such as bringing donations for the Harvest Service to support our local food bank, and deepen their faith through opportunities like Confirmation Classes, which are led by Revd. Steven for pupils and their families.
