Church
Welcome to the Church section!
Aveton Gifford School is a Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School. This means that our school land and buildings are owned by the Church, and the Church appoints two of our governors. Our Foundation Governors are: Rev Neil Barker (Rector of St Andrew's Church) and Michael Tagent (Diocesan Reader).
This section contains articles about our church school, which have been published in 'The Magnet' (our parish magazine) and also some examples of the children's RE work.
