Our Church School

We are very lucky to be situated right next door to our village church – East Hoathly Church. Our vicar is Reverend Phil Hodgins and he plays a very active role in the school community. He delivers weekly worship sessions, attends and leads all school services and performances, sits our Governing Body, supports RE learning across the school and is available to support all members of our school community. You can visit the church website where you can find out lots more information about the Church and you can get in touch with members of the church community.
