We believe that our school vision is reflected through the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Roberttown J & I School is a Church of England Voluntary Controlled School. We are proud of our close links with All Saints Church, Roberttown. Revd Sally, our vicar and Jayne, our assistant priest, are regular visitors to school. They lead Collective Worship, spend time in classes and support work in RE.
Our most recent SIAMs inspection was in July 2019 and we are very proud of our report.

Friday: Celebration CW held separately for Y1/2 and Y3-6
The children in our Reception year group join together each day for their 'Candle Time' Collective Worship.
Collective Worship Themes
Through the year we have a range of themes for our Collective Worship. These are based on the church year and Christian values.
Autumn Term 2023: Service & Wisdom
Spring Term 2024: Community & Courage
Summer Term 2024: Respect & Justice
Reflection Tables
Each of our classes has their own Refelction Table. This is a special place in the classroom where the children can place objects that have a particular meaning for them- perhaps a special photograph or object or something like a leaf collected on a walk.
Prayer Tree
A focal point in our Hall is the prayer tree. Children may write a prayer and place it on the tree and the prayers are then used in Collective Worship.

Our Link with Kirumi School in Mara, Tanzania
For the past few years we have linked with Kirumi School which is in Mara, Tanzania. Around 80 churches and schools in the diocese are linked. As part of this link clergy and teachers from the diocese visited in Mara in February 2019. We sent letters to Kirumi school and Rev Stephen Rochell delivered them for us. He sent us a picture of the children.
When Stephen visited Kirumi he came and told us all about it in Collective Worship. Stephen asked us to raise mjoney for desks and on 24th May we held our non uniform day for Kirumi to raise money to buy desks. We raised £272 which will buy 9 desks!
