Rev Jane Palmer is a member of our Governing Body. She is a part of the Shaw School family and regularly takes Collective Worship for us. She also helps us to celebrate when we meet in Church for festivals such as Harvest, Christmas and Easter. These services are a very special part of Shaw School life and there is usually standing room only in the church! Several members of the Christchurch congregation are also regular visitors, either as reading helpers or as part of our "Open The Book" assembly team. They dress up and act out Bible stories and help to make assemblies come to life. --- ### Community Links We have good links with our community and love sharing our amazing school buildings with organisations such as Shaw Beavers and various exercise and keep fit groups. - We support Melksham Food Bank each year through our Harvest collections. - We have good links with Melksham Library. Many of our children take part in the Summer Reading challenge each year. - We also enjoy taking part in wider community Sport through membership of West Wilts Sports Partnership. - We support national charities such as Children in Need and Red Nose Day ### About Us - [Our Vision and Values](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/our-vision-values) - [Church School Flourishing](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/church-school-flourishing) - [Collective Worship](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/church-school-flourishing/collective-worship) - [Spirituality, Reflection and Prayer](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/church-school-flourishing/spirituality-reflection) - [Pupil Leadership](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/church-school-flourishing/pupil-leadership) - [Church and Community Links](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/church-school-flourishing/church-community-links) - [Church School Policies](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/church-school-flourishing/church-school-policies) - [Statement of Entitlement and RE](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/church-school-flourishing/statement-of-entitlement) - [Links with the Diocese](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/church-school-flourishing/links-with-the-diocese) - [SIAMS Inspection](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/church-school-flourishing/siams-inspection) - [About Shaw CE Primary School](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us) - [Our Staff](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/our-staff) - [The White Horse Federation](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/the-white-horse-federation) - [Admissions](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/admissions) - [Careers](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/careers) - [Ofsted Report](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/achievements) - [Safeguarding](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/safeguarding) - [School Information](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/school-information) ![Shaw CofE Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-cofe-primary-school/images/logo/Square_SHAW_logos(2).png) **Shaw CofE Primary School** Corsham Road Shaw Melksham Wiltshire SN12 8EQ Tel: 01225 702544 ### Useful Links - [Privacy Policy](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [Cookies](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/cookies) - [GDPR](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/about-our-trust/gdpr) - [Modern Slavery Statement](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/modern-slavery-statement) - [Equality Act](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/policies/08_SP_V1_Equality,_Diversity_and_Inclusion_Policy_2026.pdf) ### Useful Links - [Behaviour Policy](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/04_SP_V9_Behaviour_Policy_2026(1).pdf) - [Careers](https://www.shawprimary.com/about-us/careers) - [Curriculum ](https://www.shawprimary.com/overview) - [Facilities for Hire](https://schoolhire.co.uk/melksham/shaw) - [Arbor Payments](https://www.shawprimary.com/for-parents/arbor-payments) - [Contact Us](https://www.shawprimary.com/contact) Proud to be a part of [**The White Horse Federation**](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) [![](https://www.shawprimary.com/images/TWHF.png)](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/)[![](https://www.shawprimary.com/images/logo/TWHF.png)](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) Registered in England: Company Number: **08075785** Registered Office: Plymouth St, Swindon SN1 2LB © Copyright 2023–2026 Shaw CofE Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.shawprimary.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
