message Welcome to The Saints Federation A very warm welcome to the Saints Federation website which is made up of All Saints Winfarthing, Hapton and St Andrew's North Lopham. Each school is a warm, friendly and caring place where children, parents and staff work together as part of a happy learning community.
Children are encouraged to work hard to achieve their very best academically, physically, socially, morally and spiritually. By providing a stimulating environment and challenging opportunities, we encourage our children to become self-motivated, resilient and independent learners.
We work together as a federation to provide an exciting and carefully designed curriculum which meets the needs of our three rural church schools. We take care that families and children receive a warm welcome and that all pupils make an excellent start to their education with us, no matter when your child joins the school.
We invite you to visit the schools; come and meet our children and staff and experience our classrooms in action. Latest Newsletter Newsletter 14.11.25 Download The Saints Federation Vision Shine as lights in the world – Philippians 2:15
