On Sundays, St.Michael's caters for children during the period of the 9.30 a.m. service. Below are details of the three main schemes, and children are most welcome to join the appropriate group. Parents of the youngest children can stay at the Climbers meeting or may leave their children while they come to our 9.30 a.m. Family Service. (Children will be brought into church to join their parents part-way through the service). We do have other activities at our church, and details of these will be found in our Parish Magazine or by speaking to our Parish Administrator at the Parish Office or to one of the clergy or Church Wardens.

Climbers  -  For children aged 0 - 5 years

Climbers is for children aged between 0 and 5 years, and meets from 9.30 a.m. until 10.15 a.m. on a Sunday morning, during term-time, in the downstairs room of the Parish Centre. These are very relaxed and informal sessions with play and activity, and a drink of juice and a biscuit included. Key events such as Easter, Mothering Sunday, Christmas etc. are recognised with a more structured activity. Parents are welcome to stay, or may leave their child/children while they attend the 9.30 a.m. church service. If you want to know more, please contact either Deirdre Cairns or Sarah McJannet through the Parish Office.

Explorers  -  For children aged 5 - 9 years

Explorers is for children of school age from rising 5 years to 9 years, and we meet from 9.30 a.m. until 10.20 a.m. on a Sunday morning, during term-time, in St Michael's School. We aim to offer Christian nurture with the emphasis on fun. The majority of our lessons are based on Bible readings, with worksheets and activities from Christian literature, but we also learn about other countries and religions. We also enjoy musical and dramatic activities. If you want to know more, please contact Pauline Willey through the Parish Office

Trailblazers  -  For children 9 - 13 years and over

Children who are aged from nine years until Confirmation (12+ years) are welcome to attend Trailblazers from 9.30 a.m. until 10.30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, during term-time, in St Michael's School. At Trailblazers we try to ensure that the children have fun! The session begins with worship, a reading from the Bible and prayer. This is followed by a fun activity such as drama, cooking, games, unihoc, computers, music, dance, football etc. – something for everyone. Once a term, and at special festivals such as Harvest and Christmas, we take a fuller part in the Parish Communion service by writing and leading the prayers, or putting on a playlet or presentation of our work. If you want to know more please contact through the Parish Office, one of the leaders of the group: Anita Lindeman, Genevra Mann or Anne Harrold .

St.Michael's Church of England VA Primary School is adjacent to the Church.
