St. Agatha's Church, Brightwell
Founded in 1153 on the site of an earlier church, St Agatha’s has been at the centre of Brightwell's Christianity for almost 900 years. Some traces of the original building are still visible and a walk round the interior, will reveal many fascinating facts about the building itself and some of the people who have worshipped here over the centuries from the Normans to the present day.
The school has close links with the local church. The Reverend Kevin comes in to school to lead our collective worship on a regular basis and the school have our Harvest Festival and Christmas and Easter end of term services at the church. We also hold our Remembrance Service at the War Memorial, supported by Reverend Kevin.
Sadly, Easter 2025 was our last service with the Reverend Kevin as he was retiring from his post as vicar of Brightwell. However, we made sure he would not be able to forget everyone from the school by saying goodbye with a gift of a 'Discovery' apple tree to plant in his garden!

St. James Church, Sotwell
The little church of St James’, in Sotwell, is built in the form of a chapel on a site first recorded in 1158. The present church was rebuilt in the Victorian era. Because of its small intimate nature, St James’ is entirely suited to the quiet Communion Service held there every Sunday.
