Church Schools
Church Aided Schools
There are two Church Aided Schools in the Parish.
St. Andrew’s CE (Aided) Infant School, Lightcliffe Road, Brighouse
St. Andrew’s CE (Aided) Junior School, Waterloo Road, Brighouse
Our churches appoint the majority of the members to the Governing Bodies of these schools and work with the Head Teachers and Staff to provide a high standard of education in a caring Christian environment.
Clergy have a regular presence and the Eucharist is celebrated for Children, Staff, Governors, Parents and Carers in school or church every term.
Clergy regularly take assemblies in school and are supported by St. Martin's Players on selected occasions.
Children and Staff visit church several times each year for services and events such as Harvest Festival, Christingle, Education Day, Dedication Day and End of School Year.
Brighouse High School
St. Martin's has a relationship with Brighouse High School, which for many years has held its annual Carol Concert in church. In more recent years St. Martin's has hosted a Midsummer Soiree performed by musicians from the school.
