As part of our RE link to Christian festivals, and to ensure an awareness of diverse Christianity in the local community, we have developed links with the 'House of Destiny' Church, just across the road from the school. For the first time in 2023, Andrew and Panache, came to join our school assembly to begin advent. As part of the service, they taught us the song 'Joy to the World' and left us time to practise.

We then took this song, and several of our own, across to the Church building for the final assembly of term to celebrate Christmas. A wonderful service saw us celebrate with lots of congregational music, choir singing and reading by some pupils. Such a wonderful link so close to school and one which we hope will grow yet further over the coming years.

Videos from the service and all the other lovely Christmas activities which have taken place in school can be viewed here https://rickleton-primary-school.primarysite.media/playlist/christmas-raffle-2023
