The school is proud of its status as a Church of England Voluntary Controlled school. We have recently undergone a very successful Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools (SIAS). (Click here to view the report)

The school has close links with St. Leonard's Church, Shipham. The Priest-in-Charge, Tim Hawkings, is a very familiar and popular visitor in school, leading Collective Worship in school every fortnight and welcoming the children to a service in school at least twice a term. We also end each half-term with a Family Service in the Church.

We hold a Harvest Festival in the Church and also celebrate the Christmas story with a play in church. Children leaving Shipham hold a special celebration service in the summer.

In 2006 we renewed the close ties with the church by signing a covenant at a service attended by the school, church and village communities. The Bishop of Bath and Wells, Peter Price, visited the school that day and led the service. To celebrate the event the PCC sponsored local artist, Anne Carpenter, to design and create a collage into which she incorporated work by the children.
