We have a programme of joint activities and have many formal and informal links. Reverend Rebecca Clarke visits the school regularly and participates in whole school worship alongside our Worship Group. Reverend Rebecca is a hands-on school governor and a close member of our school community. She provides pastoral support to the staff and is a member of the Staff Wellbeing Committee. Our other Foundation Governors are Mr Tom Cropper (who was our Chair for many years). The recently-dug school pond is named Cropper's Pond in recognition of Mr Cropper's enormous and ongoing contribution to school life. For more information about the Governors' Christian Vision, click the Vision and Values tab and Governing Body tab. ### Hands on participation by our Foundation Governors Our Foundation Governors are very hands on and actively participate in the life of the school. ### Sunday School (Young Adventurers) and Family Services Mrs Yardley runs the Sunday School. For more information about this please contact Mrs Yardley at St Stephen's church. Mrs Yardley is also a Reader at St Stephen's. Reverend Rebecca (school governor) and Mrs Yardley liaise closely with the school to organise regular family services in St Stephen's Church. ### St Stephen's Church Magazine Our Y6 children love to contribute to the Parish Magazine, which is compiled by Mr Kenneth Wallbank. The Church magazine is available from the school office for 80p and subscriptions are also available. Please ring the school office if you want a copy. If you want an annual subscription, please email kenneth.churchfarm@gmail.com and he will put you in touch with the local distributor.
