We have written a Growing Partnerships covenant, which was drawn together by our school and West Park CE Primary School, guided by the Diocese of Chichester. This has enabled a clear plan for working together with St Mary’s Church and is reviewed once a term. Within our partnership, we have agreed: - A commitment to regular engagement and support in the worshipping life of the school- both at school and at St Mary’s Church - Pastoral support for the school by the Church community - To engage in at least one annual agreed campaign to serve the common good. ![](https://goringprimary.org/images/Christian-Distinctiveness/Ceiling-resized.png) Children play an active role in planning and leading collective worship at St. Mary’s Church at different times of the liturgical year. Our Year 3 children prepare for and lead the Harvest Service, with offerings to our local foodbank along with that of the community of St Mary’s Church. Year 4 pupils lead the Christmas Carol Service, celebrating the Good News story of the preparation and arrival of Jesus. Year 5 pupils prepare the Easter Story and service.
