We have two primary and one special needs schools within our parish, we try to support these by visits to and from the schools and work hard to try and involve them in our activities. The Heycroft Primary School often contributes at our Christingle Service.
The biggest factor affecting our parish is the development of the airport which will complicate the access from part of the parish due to the closure of the road outside the church.
