Folksworth is a Church of England Primary School. Our Christian Ethos is very important to us and it permeates all that we do here in school and in the wider community.
Church schools are for all children, for those whose parents profess another faith than our own, or who have no faith at all. At Folksworth we welcome this and the religious beliefs of all. Our aim is to educate children in a happy atmosphere so that when they grow up they may have standards by which to evaluate the world around them.
Parents do have the right to withdraw their children from Religious Education and Collective Worship. Requests to do so must be made in writing to the Headteacher. However, withdrawal cannot guarantee exclusion from the religious character of the school and the Governors hope that in choosing a church school, parents are thereby committing themselves to their child’s participation in the religious life of our school.
Collective Worship
Our Collective Worship is intended to give our children a time to come close to God in a number of ways including singing, prayer, celebration and reflection. The children have worked together to say their own Folksworth School prayer which is used in times of collective worship.
