“No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”
1 John 4:12 (NIV)
“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.”
Matthew, Chapter 16, Verse 18
All Saints’ Primary, Needwood Primary and Yoxall St Peter’s are Church of England schools within the Lichfield Diocese and hold strong links with their own Parish Church and come together as a Family in all three churches at different times of the year. Both All Saints and Needwood are frequently visited by Rev. Terry Williams who leads a regular whole school worship and offer spiritual and pastoral support for all members of the school community. At Yoxall, Father Jeremy visits our school every week for worship, and leads services in Church. Our schools also have regular visits and worship led by Rev. Andy, Jordan Lambert, Tim Coltman and Canon Paul.
Our Church communities support our schools in a number of ways, including leading collective worship, supporting the teaching of RE, organising and running a Christian Club (All Saints’ and Needwood) as well as representatives holding the roles of Foundation Governors on our Local Governing Body.
We work in close partnership with the Lichfield Diocesan Board of Education in continually improving and growing as Church Schools.
