Faith In Action

Faith In Action

In our school we always think of how we can serve and help others (courageous advocacy), putting our school values into action. Older children are play leaders and buddies for younger pupils; our Worship Committee meet on a regular basis and help with our Collective Worships and termly Eucharist. Once a year we offer the opportunity for children to be baptised at St. Mary’s Church or our school.
 
Our School Council and Eco groups meet regularly to support school leadership and improvement as well as reminding us of our Christian responsibility to look after our world.
 
The School Council decides on a range of charities to support over the course of the year and plan events for the whole school. Some of the charities we have supported have included:
  • Chichester Food Bank through our Harvest Appeal
  • Poppy sales and World War Two evacuation sleepover for The Royal British Legion
  • Comic and Sports Relief
  • Children in Need
  • Chestnut Tree House
  • Ukraine Appeal
Our active school choir has participated in a number of local events: for example sharing the Christian message through song at our annual Boys Memorial Service, Petworth Fair, Literacy Festival and numerous events held with our locality of schools. In addition, we also sing for the residents at Rotherlea Nursing Home and Cottage Hospital at Christmas time.
