The Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev James Langstaff, Has Presided at a Ceremony to Dedicate the Newly Opened Bishop Chavasse Church of England Primary School The Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev James Langstaff, has presided at a ceremony to dedicate the newly opened Bishop Chavasse Church of England Primary School. The Bishop was welcomed by Headteacher Donna Weeks and reception pupils to a grand opening ceremony on Friday 1st December. Based on land next to the new Somerhill Green development, Bishop Chavasse Church of England Primary School opened its doors in September to its first two classes of reception children. The opening of this traditionally run primary school marks the return of Church of England education to Tonbridge. Until recently, parents who wanted a Church of England education had to travel outside of the town to the nearest church school in Tunbridge Wells. The new school, which has been made possible with money from central government, adds new primary places and significant capacity to Tonbridge and the families it serves. Tom Tugendhat MP for Tonbridge and Malling, who marked the event by cutting the ribbon and officially opening the school, said “I am delighted to have had the privilege of opening Bishop Chavasse Primary School today. This is already a fantastic school adding to the range serving the needs of our community here, in Tonbridge. I’m proud to have played a small part in making today a reality. I’m pleased that we can celebrate all the hard work that has gone into this school today and I wish everyone involved best wishes for the future.” Bishop Chavasse Church of England School is part of the Tenax Schools Trust that is led by the highly acclaimed Bennett Memorial Diocesan School in Tunbridge Wells. CEO Ian Bauckham CBE said “This school was developed in response to families who wanted the option of sending their children to a Church of England school. It’s very much a community based school with Christian values at its core, and is open to children of all faiths and none”. The Headteacher Donna Weeks said “It’s been a tremendous honour to welcome Bishop James to a school named after one of his most eminent predecessors, Bishop Christopher Chavasse. I am so proud of the children and our wonderful school community who have supported this event today”. Registered Charity No. 1132122 | Company Registration No. 6953650 NOTES for Editors Tenax Schools Trust submitted a bid to the Department for Education in 2014 for a new primary school in Tonbridge. The rationale for the bid was threefold: to enable Tonbridge parents to have the choice of a Church of England Primary School as one does not currently exist in the Town; to cater for the rapid population growth and lack of sufficient places for reception aged children; and the need for more good and outstanding primary schools in the area. The bid promised a traditional primary education for 60 pupils in each year group underpinned by a Christian ethos. In terms of admissions, up to 25% of places (up to 15 places annually) will be allocated on the basis on parental attendance at a Church of England Church. The project is supported by Kent County Council as a key element of their strategy to meet demand for much needed primary places in Tonbridge. The Education Funding Agency secured the land in Tudeley Lane adjacent to the new housing development at Somerhill Green in December 2016 subject to planning consent, will be the permanent site for the school. A planning application for full planning permission for temporary buildings and outline permission for the permanent building was submitted to Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council on 19 December and approved in March 2017. The Secretary of State has entered into a funding agreement with the Trust. Before doing this, Tenax Schools Trust were required to consult with the local community and other interested parties on their plans for the school. This showed overwhelming support for the school with 86% of respondents agreeing that there was a need for a new Church of England Primary School in Tonbridge. Bishop Chavasse Primary School is also being supported by Schools at Somerhill who have offered the use of their sports and recreational facilities as part of their charitable and community engagement. Christopher Chavasse was bishop of Rochester from 1940 to 1960, and twin brother to Captain Noel Chavasse, an army medic who is one of only three servicemen ever to be awarded the Victoria Cross twice.

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St October - 31St December
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st October - 31st December What is a Diocese and how do we work together within it? At its simplest, a Diocese is a geographical area; a region; a collection of parishes, benefices, deaneries, archdeaconries. But it is more than that – it is a gathering of all our communities in mutual support for each other. And as the Diocese of Winchester, we each play our part in the growth of God’s Kingdom committed to our vision of ‘living the mission of Jesus’. This prayer diary helps us to get to know each other better, to find out what is happening across the area and to see how God is working and using us all in his mission across the region. The early church shared good news of what was happening across a wide area, as churches grew, and more people came to know Christ. In their commitment to love and care for one another, prayer lay at the heart of their lives. As we use this Prayer Diary, let’s seek to share that love and care for each other and to rejoice in what God is doing amongst us. This month... how might you pray for young people? For example, you might focus on school leavers, students, youth workers, community centres, young people in trouble... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might make a point of smiling at young people in the street; volunteer for a helpline; get involved with your local Further Education College; support parents you know whose young adult children are struggling..

  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).
