Church
We are proud to be linked to Jesus Church. Throughout our school year, we visit the church regularly to worship at festivals, as well as part of our RE learning. Our Vicar, Rev'd Chris Bolster, is a regular presence at Forty Hill School and supports the spiritual enrichment of our pupils and school community.
Rev'd Bolster and Rev’d Mandy leads us in an act of worship each week, focussing on our vision and values and a relevant bible story. We are also lucky enough to have both visit our classes during our Christmas and Easter Focus Weeks, and to support our RE teaching and Bible Study..
As part of our Collective Worship Programme, the school attends Jesus Church throughout the year to participate in and lead festival services. The aim is for all of our children from Year 1 – Year 6 to lead prayers in church at different times of the year.
