Belonging To Our Church Community
All Saints Church Church Leigh
At All Saints’ CE First School we regularly visit All Saints Church, Church Leigh which is positioned around the corner from the school. We hold many celebrations throughout the year in church such as our Nativity and Christmas Carol Concert, Christingle service, Harvest, Mothering Sunday service, Easter service as well as our special Leaver’s Service at the end of each academic year. We also use the Church when teaching elements of Christianity in RE, for instance about Baptism and Holy buildings.
