Draycott & Rodney Stoke Church of England First School

At Draycott and Rodney Stoke Church of England First School, we believe that children thrive and reach their full potential when they are happy, nurtured, having fun, and growing from a foundation of strong Christian values. We value spirituality and the holistic development of each child. As educators, our role is to guide the children in our care along life's path.

As they grow in their understanding of spirituality and values, they become secure enough to make mistakes—and to learn and grow from them, both spiritually and academically. We are an inclusive school, welcoming children of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds. We are proud of our strong connection with the Church and our rector, Rev. Stuart Burns.

This partnership enriches both our school and the wider community, fostering spiritual growth and a strong sense of belonging. Collective Worship is held weekly at our neighbouring St. Peter's Church, as well as at key points throughout the term. These gatherings provide special opportunities for our children and their families to come together in reflection and celebration.

When possible, we also visit St. Leonard's Church in Rodney Stoke.
