We have a very special relationship with St Mildred’s Church, Whippingham based on proximity and our shared place in Queen Victoria’s legacy. This includes services throughout the course of the year, including Harvest Festival, Remembrance, Nativity, Easter and Prize Giving.

We have a very special relationship with St Mildred’s Church, Whippingham based on proximity and our shared place in Queen Victoria’s legacy. By kind permission of the Rector and churchwardens it serves as the school ‘chapel’.

St Mildred’s is a Church of England Church in the heart of the Whippingham, East Cowes. The site has been a place of worship since at least Norman times and was visited and cherished by Queen Victoria when in residence on the Isle of Wight.

We hold services at St Mildred’s throughout the course of the year, including Harvest Festival, Remembrance, Christmas, Easter, Prize Day and Thanksgiving at the end of the year.

The whole school attends, and parents, grandparents and friends are also warmly invited. School Prefects, pupil readers and choristers play a big part in the running of services, and a retiring collection is usually held on behalf of a local or national charity.

Recent examples include Aspire in Ryde, Pan Together in Newport, Mountbatten Hospice and the Royal British Legion.

Church services are very special and more can be read on St Mildred’s here.
