Our Year 6 children led the worship beautifully, confidently sharing their own personalised prayers, singing with joy, and guiding us in prayer and reflection. The service ended with a heartwarming finale as Reception and Year 6 sang together. It was a wonderful moment that perfectly captured the joy, friendship, and special bond that has already blossomed between our oldest and youngest pupils. It was a truly memorable celebration of belonging, community, and the caring family spirit that makes our church school so special. Thankyou to all those who were able to attend. ![โœ](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t81/1/16/271d.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7587.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7587.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7586.png)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7586.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7592.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7592.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7593.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7593.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7584.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7584.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7586.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7586.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7579.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7579.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7581.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7581.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7583.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7583.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7578.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7578.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7591.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7591.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7590.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/gallery/reception-dedication/IMG_7590.jpeg) [Church School](https://ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/tag/church-school) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/blog/images_(3).jpg)](https://ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-19-08-15-stars-of-the-week-16-10-26) Previous ### [Stars Of the Week 16.10.26](https://ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-19-08-15-stars-of-the-week-16-10-26) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_0468.JPG)](https://ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-23-07-55-year-6-explore-north-america-s-climate-zones) Next ### [Year 6 Explore North Americaโ€™s Climate Zones! ๐ŸŒŽ](https://ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-23-07-55-year-6-explore-north-america-s-climate-zones) - [![Local Offer](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/partners/Local-Offer-logo-small.jpg)](https://www.durham.gov.uk/localoffer) - [![Click CEOP](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/partners/Click_CEOPS-Footer.gif)](https://www.ceop.police.uk/Safety-Centre) ##### Location St Stephen's C.E.
