Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.
Genesis 9 v16
Every time we see a rainbow in the sky, we can remember that God loves us and will always look after us
Daily acts of Collective Worship are important forums for sustaining and developing our Christian ethos and embedding our core values of Aspiration, Respect and Community.
Collective Acts of Worship take place on a daily basis. As a Church School, our acts of worship are Christian in nature, though special occasions and festivals of other cultures and religions are also recognised and valued. Parents are always welcome to join us for Thursday Celebration Worship every week, where we celebrate the successes of our week and present Teachers’ Awards. Together with the local community, all are also invited to church services at Harvest, Easter and Christingle which the children lead.
We say thanks to God at lunchtime and at home-time through prayers the children have written.
Rivers Partnership
Ministers from the Rivers Partnership, the group of Benefices which includes Naburn and Stillingfleet parishes, visit the school regularly to lead whole school Collective Worship linked to our Christian values.

Diocese Of York
We are proud to be part of the Diocese of York and regularly attend training events and host visits from our Diocesan Advisor. For more information about the work of the Diocese of York click here.
Open The Book
The team from ‘Open the Book’ lead worship fortnightly and follow the Bible Society’s rolling programme, giving our children a wonderful opportunity to engage with key Bible stories.
We also welcome regular visitors from YoYo, York Schools and Youth Trust, who lead class lessons, workshops, assemblies and prayer spaces.

The Christian vision is at the heart of this small village Church of England school. It was recently refreshed, reflecting ideas from across the school community. It inspires harmony where there is diversity and aspiration for all, using the story of Noah and the Ark. It is rooted in a Christian understanding of God’s promises, brought to life for pupils and adults, regardless of belief.SIAMS Report 2025
