Christian Distinctiveness
Scripture
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)
Both All Saints' Primary and Needwood Primary are Church of England schools within the Lichfield Diocese and both hold strong links with their own Parish Church and come together as a Family in both churches at different times of the year. Both schools are frequently visited by Rev. Terry Williams who lead a regular whole school worship and offer spiritual and pastoral support for all members of the school community. Both schools also have regular visits and worship led by Jordan Lambert and Tim Coltman.
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.
