Church School

Church School

St Andrew’s CE Primary School has close links with St Andrew’s Church in Soham. The children regularly visit the church for celebrations such as Harvest, Christmas and Easter where we hold two services to fit the whole school community and families who want to join us in worship.

Collective Worship

We hold daily Collective Worship at school which takes on different structures which include a focus on our school values, a story from the Bible, celebrating and giving thanks and sung worship as well as prayers led by adults and children. This is an important time for the whole school community to share, reflect and celebrate together.

Reverend Eleanor Whalley is Vicar of St Andrew’s Church and is a regular visitor to school. She leads our Collective Worship at least once a week and takes an active role in supporting teaching and learning at school as well as key events in the life of our school such as our Remembrance celebrations.

"The Christian vision and associated core values shape everything the school does, enabling all to flourish. This is seen both in the very clear moral purpose and in the shared belief that school can positively impact upon the life chances of all." - From the 2019 Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) Report of St. Andrews School, Soham.
