Our Partners
The School is actively involved in a number of high quality partnerships that help us play our part both within the education world and within the local community.

St Peter and St Paul Church Bishop's Hull
Our primary school enjoys a strong and meaningful partnership with the local church, St Peter and St Paul’s. We visit the church for special occasions such as our annual Harvest celebration, and pupils regularly take part in Open the Book assemblies, where they learn about Bible stories in an engaging and interactive way. The church also supports our learning through contributions to our World Views and Religious Education curriculum, helping pupils to develop a deeper understanding of faith and values. We are proud that the Reverend serves as one of our school governors, strengthening the link between our school and the church community.
SASP
Our school works closely with Somerset Activity and Sports Partnership (SASP) to promote active, healthy lifestyles for all pupils. Through this partnership, we have access to a wide range of sporting opportunities, events, and resources that encourage participation and enjoyment in physical activity. SASP supports us in delivering high-quality PE lessons and extracurricular activities, helping pupils to develop skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of sport. This collaboration plays an important role in fostering teamwork, resilience, and wellbeing across our school community.
