Christ Church
Our Local Church - Christ Church, Coalville
As a Church of England school, we are proud of our history and tradition within the local community and especially our links to the Parish Church of Christ Church with whom we share a close relationship. Christ Church and the Church community enriches the religious character of our school.
CONGRATULATIONS RHI
Further to the announcement dated Friday 3 July 2026 advising that The Revd Rhi O’Rourke has been appointed as Associate Priest in the Benefice of Coalville with Bardon Hill and Ravenstone and Growing Faith Minister in the Beacon in the Forest Minster Community, we can now confirm that Rhi’s service of Welcome and Licensing will be conducted by the Bishop of Leicester, The Rt Revd Martyn Snow, on Sunday 6 September 2026 at 3pm at Christchurch Coalville.
Rhi has worked tirelessly in-school to support our worships, leading our church services, helping to lead our shine squad and much more. We are proud and delighted that her light has been recognised by the Diocese.
Visit the church's website here, to find more information about the church and services they offer.
Collective Worship
Rhi and members of the Christ Church community have played an active part in enriching our collective worships. Every Thursday, we have a member of the Christ Church community come into school and lead our whole school Collective Worship.
Enhancing Our Learning
Our link with Christ Church has enabled us to extend the children's learning and engage them in the wider Christian community. We were supported in learning about Pentecost and the children designed a Pentecost banner which is now being displayed in the church. Over the past academic year the church has provided support with events like Harvest, Advent and Christmas. They are due to come into school and help with our whole school Easter afternoon. We also celebrated the Christ Church stained-glass windows being made into stamps, by designing our own stamps.
Future Plans
Christ Church have shown immense kindness and generosity in agreeing to fund the purchase of important resources for our children's learning. With this funding, we are going to purchase high-quality and engaging resources from different religions to enhance our RE teaching, and school-wide resources to enhance our collective worships. Thank you Rev. Rhi and the whole Christ Church community.
