St Oswald’s Parish
St Oswald’s Primary School has close links with St Oswald's Church and the people of the parish. Staff and pupils attend St. Oswald’s Church.
We believe it is very important that there are strong links between home, school and parish to support the children in their faith journey. The closeness of the Parish Church to the school means that the children can walk to Church to take part in services, and that visits can easily be arranged to enhance the children’s understanding of the role the Church plays in our everyday school life. Members of the parish are part of our school's Governing Board and parishioners are currently planning an after school club. Children from our school have helped tidy the church grounds.
Father Keith, the parish priest, comes into school to talk to the children and to find out about their learning.
The school is committed to raising money for good causes and regularly supports charities such a CAFOD and Mission Together. In December 2023 the CAFOD Club made Christmas cards for elderly residents in our parish community.
