Church School

Our school is a safe, welcoming place where everyone, including the vulnerable, is valued, nurtured and encouraged. Enquiring minds grow a 'love of learning' and appreciate the world, themselves and others. Our rich, creative curriculum provides time and space for the mind to grow and spirit to flourish.

September 29th (Michaelmas) is the celebration of St. Michael (the namesake of Markington Church). The KS2 children prepared readings, prayers and art work to celebrate.

As Church is still 'virtual', this will be shown as part of the streamed church service on 4th October - follow this link:

church facebook page fb.com/ourfivechurches or on the church website www.theunitedbenefice.org/engage - live from 10am.

Y6 made a 'Rainbow of Hopes' for the Leaver's Service.

Rev Paul joined us at the annual Y6 Leavers Service in Ripon Cathedral

Traditionally, at Markington School, the Y6 get to toss a pancake on Shrove Tuesday.

We painted poppies on Remembrance Day

We learnt sign language to accompany our singing about Zaccheus

Class 1 drew pictures of their mothers and...

... Class 3 wrote poems 'In Praise of Mothers'. These were made into cards which were given to members of the church community on Mothering Sunday.

The Whole School participated in making our Bible Bookcase.

Everyone made a book...

When we learnt about a story, we added a note in the correct book of the Bible for our Bible Bookcase.
