Our School and the Church

Our Local Church, St Pauls

St Pauls Novi Lane, Leek

Our school has developed close links with our local church St Pauls Novi Lane, Leek. The children plan and deliver services at our church, including – Harvest Festival, Remembrance, Christmas, Easter and during the Leaver’s Service in July. The vicar is Reverend Matt who is a regular visitor at our school and delivers visitor worships on a regular basis.

A letter from Reverend Matt Malins

One of my joys as a vicar is being involved in the local school and it’s life.  As the vicar of St Luke’s and St Paul’s I spend some of my time as a part of the school community leading worship and as a governor.  It always impresses me whenever I visit that the school has such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  The children are keen to learn, but also engage well when thinking and talking about God.

Living next door to the school allows me to be close by, but I also get to hear the children play during the day.  St Paul’s enjoys it’s links with the school and we welcome both the children and parents into the building for special services at Christmas, Easter and Harvest.

Team Vicar of St Luke’s and St Paul’s
