St Hilda’s, Ampleforth Church of England Primary School Mission Statement
Vision Statement
Our vision, “Where everyone grows” is rooted in “I have come that that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10.10) We believe that education must equip people of all ages with the skills to maximise their engagement with the world around them and education must develop academic, spiritual, emotional and personal growth.

Interpreting the law for our school
Parents may withdraw their children from Collective Worship on grounds of conscience should they wish to do so, but we believe that Collective Worship is inclusive and beneficial for all pupils. Parents are asked to contact the Headteacher to discuss any concerns.
Arrangements for those children withdrawn from Collective Worship
It is hoped that no child will have to be withdrawn from Collective Worship, but where this is the case the following arrangements will be made. A member of staff will provide and supervise an alternative activity in the Library.
