Welcome to

Lancaster Christ Church

Church of England Primary School

Lancaster Christ Church is a caring school with a strong sense of community. We value the uniqueness of every child and are committed to a fully inclusive learning environment.

 With Christ at our centre, we encourage all children to grow and learn surrounded by love and a feeling of belonging. We strongly believe that every child matters, value all individuals and celebrate diversity.

We support our children to become confident, resilient, independent learners with a strong sense of self-worth and a caring attitude towards others.   

We encourage all children to:

'Have faith... In yourself, in others and in God', as we believe that

"Nothing will be impossible with God."

Luke 1:37

The school was founded in 1875 by Rev'd Philip Bartlett, the then Vicar of Christ Church, as a lasting way to provide distinctive support to the Christ Church community.

 The Christian principle of service, upon which it was built, remains fundamental to our school today.

We enjoy close links with the parish of Christ Church and reflect their mission by being a vibrant, inclusive and worshipping school community.

We thank you for showing an interest in our school and hope that the information provided on our website will give you an insight into our school life.

Visits are warmly welcomed - we invite you to come and see our school in action and ask any questions you may have. Please contact Miss Fish in the School Office on 01524 60955 to make an appointment.

Visit from Bishop Philip

We were absolutely delighted to welcome Bishop Philip into school on Friday 27th September 2024 to lead a special whole school worship in celebration of the decarbonisation works that have been undertaken in school over the past year.

As well as leading our worship, Bishop Philip enjoyed a guided tour, led by the School Council.

The School Council had written prayers linked to each area of the works which they shared over the course of the tour ... Bishop Philip said it was the first time he had ever said a prayer about new toilets!

Thank you for visiting, Bishop Philip!

Time for reflection:

Christians and many other world faiths believe that God gave everyone our planet to share and enjoy.

We can all do things that will help to keep Earth in good condition for future generations. We may feel like the things that we do to help are small, but all the small things added together make a huge difference to the world.

Earth is a precious gift, and we only have this planet.

Let us pray:

Dear God,
Thank you for giving us our planet and all the wonderful living things in it.
Please remind us how important it is for us to take care of it so that future generations can continue to enjoy it.
Amen
