Frances Olive Anderson Church of England Primary School caters for children and families of all religion and no religion. We are a voluntary aided Church of England School. Support and guidance is provided by the Lincoln Diocese. We have an inspection every 5 years to judge how successful we are as a Church School. In our latest inspection, March 2020, we were judged to be a GOOD Church School.

Some of the aspects which make us distinctive as a Church School include.

• Daily Collective Worship
• Drop in ‘chat’ sessions by the Vicar, Reverend Phillip Wain
• Frequent services held at St Helen’s Church in Lea and the other churches within our group of Churches
• Carol services where the choir sing.
• Representation of the Church on our Governing Body

The latest SIAMS report recognised:

• The school community has worked collectively to establish a Christian vision which reflects the local context well and can be articulated by all. The vision permeates all day to day aspects of school life.
• The school works tirelessly to ensure that all are valued and treated with dignity and respect. The strength of relationships means the school community is one where all live well together and this contributes significantly to removing barriers to learning.
• Teaching and learning in RE is good. Pupils demonstrate an informed and respectful understanding of religions and world views. RE is monitored well agaianst the school vision.
• Partnership with the Diocese is a strength, in particular in the development of RE.

We value our close links with the local community and the church. We have positions on our Governing Body which are elected by the parochial parish councils. These are known as our Foundation Governors. The parishes represented are:

• St Helen’s Lea
• All Saints Upton Cum Kexby
• St Helen’s Gate Burton
• St Mary’s Knaith

Reverend Phillip Wain is the incumbent of the four Churches and he is a member of the Governing Body and is a regular visitor in school.
