Our St. Mary’s church family
This is our church, St. Mary’s, Newchurch-in-Pendle. We are very proud of our connection with the church and the people who serve there. At Christmas, Easter, Education Sunday and at harvest time we gather there with the St. Mary’s family to worship together. We also worship in church once every half term on a school day.
Our vicar, Reverend Nick, and his worship team visit school at least weekly to deliver a whole school collective worship. Both children and staff look forward to Reverend Nick's visits, as he brings Bible stories to life with his fun and inclusive worships.

Collective Worship
Every day, as a school or as a class, we gather together to worship. We are very proud that our children enjoy worship which takes place every day either in the hall or in the classrooms. We light a candle as part of our opening for worship, the children listen to Bible stories and sometimes act them out, sing hymns together and have reflection time.
