From the Farnley Tyas Church of England Voluntary Controlled First School
Our unique nature as a Church school is characterised by the promotion of Christian ideals across every facet of school life. We encourage every member of the school community to support a Christian culture in which everyone is treated with care and respect. There are close ties to St. Lucius' Church because this is a church school. Every Monday, Reverend Mark leads worship, and other churchgoers frequently stop over to support the school and the kids' academic progress. The virtues of trust, peace, compassion, friendship, and forgiveness are modelled and practised by the kids. Reflection stations placed throughout the school allow kids to learn more about our core values. They should spend time with God during this period.
