Rev Jenny comes into school to lead on whole school assemblies throughout the year (including Remembrance Day) and the whole school goes to church for an annual Harvest Services and the Year 6 leavers service at the end of each academic year.

VE Day 75th anniversary:
18th May 2020
The children from Watton school and adults from the village decorated rocks for VE day. Children were encouraged to learn about VE day and decorate a rock using blue, white and red. These rocks were then placed on the historic village water pump and left on display for residents within the community to see. A picture of the community effort was published in the Mercury newspaper.
