Our Church Links
We are extremely pleased to welcome The Reverend Greg Roberts as the new Rector of the Ford Group of Parishes.
We are very much looking forward to working with Reverend Greg Roberts to strengthen our Christian ethos and links with the church as a Church of England school.
Below is a few introductory words from our new Reverend:
I’m very pleased to have joined the Ford Group of parishes as the new rector. I look forward to meeting and getting to know the villages, people and school community.
I join you from having been vicar of one of the city parishes of Peterborough for 7 years. The parish has an all-age congregation, worship supported by a choir of young people and adults, and serves a community of people from a variety of backgrounds and faiths. It will be a change coming to live and minister in villages in the Marches but also a homecoming as I was educated in Shrewsbury for 7 years.
During the intervening years, I’ve taught in four schools over 20 years, teaching mainly physics to classes from Year 5 to Year 13, and been ordained for 11 years, ministering in Kettering, Peterborough and a mental health setting in Northampton.
Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help with any pastoral or spiritual matters or whether you would like a listening ear. If you would like to enquire about services such as baptisms/christenings, I am here.
My contact details are:

Our school is proud to be a Church of England school. As an inclusive community, we work to support all children - of the Christian faith, of other faith, or of no faith, to grow and flourish.
We strive towards the Church of England's vision of being 'Deeply Christian, serving the common good' through the goal of 'educating for life in all its fullness'. The Christian character and values of the school have a significant impact on the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all learners. The school is keen to nurture the individual gifts and talents of all children through a diverse range of experiences and opportunities. The school has developed strong links with local churches. All children visit church regularly, for major festivals, the Y6 Eucharist Service and to support the RE scheme of work. In collaboration with the local church, the school hosts regular Sunday services through Messy Church and the church is a regular presence in school through weekly ‘Open the Book’ worship (held virtually during the period of Covid restrictions). The school also participates in local church events and services, making contributions to Christingle Services, Remembrance Events and Flower Festivals. The school has supported these events with music and art. The school has built a strong and fruitful partnership with the church and has provided an opportunity for the school and wider community to share in its spiritual life. Y6 pupils develop their leadership skills through the Archbishop of York's Youth Trust's Young Leader Award Scheme. Through completing this award, children gain essential leadership qualities for the future, they build self-confidence and it empowers them to serve their local community. Each year, the Year 6 cohort develop and carry out their own project that looks to support or improve our local community, for example, campaigning for safer parking.
