Church & Community Links

Church Links

We have a close link with St George’s Church, Semington.

Rev John Rees who is the vicar at St George’s Church, is heavily involved in the life of the school. He is a governor, leads worship regularly and takes part in many other in school activities routinely.

Bev Woodward, is a member of the parish council, a church warden and a member of the governing body. She is a member of the local Open the Book team and therefore regularly comes in to be part of worship.

Reverend Joy Albone regularly helps with church services and has supported us with our Church spaces event and church exploration visits.

Children visit church regularly to lead special services (Harvest, Christingle and Easter for example) which are attended by other pupils, families and members of the community. Children also visit the church to learn more about the church as a special building and place of worship.

Immediate Community Links

We pride ourselves in maintaining a positive reputation within our local area and this is largely due to our involvement within our community. We are proud of our reputation which means that we are consistently oversubscribed. Our school lies in the heart of our community. The Church have use of the premises for messy church each term, the grounds are used by the community for their village fete and for the Semington Slog. The community are welcome to attend certain events in school including the nativity and the summer production.

The children support a community coffee morning twice a term, engaging socially with older members of the community. The school were involved in decorating the village Christmas Tree and have been involved in a community litter pick.

Wider Community Links

  • Library - Library staff come into school to advertise special events such as the Summer Reading Challenge (we are consistently in the top performing schools who take part in Trowbridge Library)
  • Fundraising - As a school we actively raise funds throughout each year for those who are less fortunate. This includes national charities such as Children in Need, Comic Relief and Red Nose Day as well as supporting the local foodbank and Wiltshire Air Ambulance – based in Semington.
  • Sporting events - We take part in a wide variety of sporting events during each year in our local community. These include the West Wilts dance festival, football and netball tournaments, the swimming gala, and cross country. We are proud that our children are always great sports men and women and great ambassadors for our school.

THE SCHOOL IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE


Dear parents and carers,

Following the Government announcements, we've taken the decision to close the school until further notice. We appreciate this is a difficult time for everyone as we all make personal sacrifices for the greater good of the nation. Where possible, we've tried to contact parents and carers who registered as Key Workers, those with vulnerable children, or who collect Free School Meals. If we have not managed to contact you, here is some further information:

Children of Key Workers

If you need support with childcare because both parents of the child(ren) are critical key workers, then we will do our best to support you while you're on the frontline. This school is now closed, however, we have designated schools within the White Horse Federation that are still operating as hubs. We will organise childcare for your child(ren) at one of these locations. Please contact one of the White Horse Federation Coordinators using the chat facility on the website. You can launch this by clicking the ? in the bottom left of the screen.

Children who are Vulnerable

The White Horse Federation has deemed vulnerable children to be those without adequate care or protection at home or with significant health needs. Given the current Government guidance at this point in time, we deem the safest place to be at the parent's or carer's home. If you believe this is not the case for your child(ren), then please contact one of the White Horse Federation Coordinators using the chat facility on the website. You can launch this by clicking the ? in the bottom left of the screen.

Children who collect Free School Meals

We are making every effort to ensure children who collect Free School Meals have access to food. To that effect we will be supplying parents and carers of children who collect Free School Meals with vouchers to cover the cost of 20 days’ worth of lunches from Tuesday 24th March through to Monday 4th May. The vouchers are ordered and we are currently awaiting receipt of them before the end of the week. We have contact details of those who are registered as receiving Free School Meals and will contact you directly. If you're concerned that we don't have your details, then please contact one of the White Horse Federation Coordinators using the chat facility on the website. You can launch this by clicking the ? in the bottom left of the screen.

We will endeavour to continue the learning for all our children despite these setbacks. You should know that the teaching staff at your school have worked tirelessly both day and night to manage this situation to the best of our ability. Our nation is triumphant against adversity, and we have every confidence we will return to our normal lives as soon as possible. Please take care of yourself and loved ones while we all work through this together.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Nicholas Capstick, OBE

CEO The White Horse Federation
