Iron Acton is part of the diocese of Bristol and we have strong links with our village church St James the Less. We have a clear Christian ethos which is reflected in our vision and our commitment to our Christian values.

Our Christian values are: listening, nurturing, welcoming and celebrating. We celebrate these in the daily life of the school and we explore them in more detail during collective worship.

Father Malcolm (Rector of the Fromeside Benefice) works closely with our school. He often comes in to lead collective worship and provides pastoral support to the staff.

We are pleased to welcome visitors from the church into school regularly to lead collective worship and ‘Open the Book’ Bible story sessions with our youngest children.

We visit the church for a service once every term; our Nativity service and Easter service are also held there. We celebrate other important Christian festivals such as Harvest and Lent.
