Arrangements for collective worship are made by the school in accordance with requirements laid down in the Education Reform Act of 1988 and are consistent with the Trust Deed at the school. Links are established with Bawdsey Church which include decorating the font for festivals.

Visitors of different denominations are invited into school to take Community Assembly. Each year, classes take assemblies and parents are invited to these. Parents may, if they wish, withdraw their children from collective worship.

We are so blessed in Bawdsey to have the inspiring Church of St Mary The Virgin and it’s beautiful Churchyard, a place where you can feel the many years of worship as you enter. A truly Holy building in the centre of our Village, which is open every day for anyone to enjoy a quiet moment.

The parish of Bawdsey: St Mary the Virgin is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Benefice Safeguarding Officer(s).
