St. Martin's Church is the school's nearest neighbour!
The church is one of three churches in the Nailsworth Benefice which also encompasses St Georges, Nailsworth and St John the Baptist, Kingscote.
The Church of St Martin’s, was first built in 1105 and the dedication to St. Martin’s recalls the earliest monastic owners of Horsley. Over the years, parts of the church were either built or rebuilt with the four storey tower being built in the 15th century.
St Martin’s has stood at the centre of village life for centuries. That role was given new meaning in 2010 with the 3 in 1 project when it was converted into a building for worship, use by the school and for community use. The project was the first of its kind in Gloucestershire and transformed the interior into a warm and welcoming multifunctional space. The Vicar, Reverend Caroline leads regular Christian worship and members of the church run Open the Book, a dramatic telling of bible stories. The church also supports the school through church experience days for pupils which provide an opportunity to look at and interpret the major Christian festivals.
The vicar and two members of the church represent the church on the School Governing Body.
