WHAT IS A CHURCH OF ENGLAND (AIDED) SCHOOL?
Church Schools:
• provide a Christian foundation for their pupils
• develop a sensitivity towards other faiths
• aim for excellence in all aspects of life
• aim to be part of the local community, sharing its concerns and providing support
• promote positive relationships and a welcoming, caring atmosphere
`Aided’ School Governors, in addition to their normal duties:
• control admissions to the school
• decide on the religious education syllabus
• provide and maintain the school buildings
• appoint and employ the school staff

St. Swithun's Church
Leonard Stanley C of E Primary School is very fortunate to have St. Swithun's Church in Leonard Stanley situated a short walk from the school. The school uses the church for worship, celebrations and learning.
The church also runs free quarterly craft and activity sessions on a Saturday afternoon for pre-school and school children. These are organised and run by a dedicated team of volunteers. The details for which are sent home in your child's book bags a few weeks before the planned event. When you receive your form just fill out some contact details and return into school/Early Years.
For more information about St. Swithun's Church please go to the Church Near You website.
