Church and Community Links
Reverand Caroline is regularly involved with the school and the families at Seend and regularly join us for worship and events in school. We are incredibly fortunate to be able to visit Seend church as part of RE lessons and for reflective events in the calendar.
We hold a variety of services there at Seend Church including a Christingle service, Harvest, Easter, and a leavers’ service. The church is also used as a resource for RE lessons, with children learning about the different parts of the church and how they are used within a service, and about the different services that are held there and their importance in people’s lives.
Work in the Community
One of the important aspects of the learning we endeavour to develop within the children at Seend C of E Primary School is the contribution they can make to the school and the local, national, and international community. As a result, a variety of events for fundraising are arranged at the school, often instigated by the children themselves. In the school, the children can contribute by being elected members of the school council or by being buddies to the children in the reception class. We also have a head boy and head girl who have designated responsibilities as well as children having a variety of roles and responsibilities within their classroom.
Within the local community, the school choir has sung in various church services, including the Remembrance Service for the Royal British Legion and at local village fayres. The children have been involved in collecting food for Melksham Foodbank and money for Melksham Rotary Club. Nationally and internationally, the children have recently supported Operation Christmas Child, Barnardos, Children in Need, and Comic Relief.
