Working with Schools

St David's Church has a close working relationship with all the local primary and secondary schools. The vicar takes assemblies in the schools on a regular basis and often goes into a school to spend lesson time with an individual class. The schools also visit St.David's, either taking part in one of the normal round of services, by learning about its history and structure, and by learning how the Church is part of the community. Sometimes, too, the school will visit the Church for a "service" which helps to illustrate some of the points made in a lesson, or series of lessons.

Here are some photos of a local school visiting to learn more about "special occasions", and we see them participating in a "baptism" and a "wedding".

The Clergy realise what an opportunity is given by such a close working relationship and are always glad to welcome schools to the church, or to "take the church to the school".
