School Life 

School Timings

School Opens at 8:45am and closes at 3:15pm. Current school hours stand at 32.5 hours and 5 minutes per week.

School Uniform

At Christ Church school we aim to achieve high standards in all areas of school life including appearance. Wearing a smart uniform is an important factor in encouraging a disciplined, positive ethos at Christ Church School. It is the policy of the School that pupils shall wear school uniform as outlined below.

Jewellery - The only item allowed in school is a single ear stud worn in the lobe of the ear and a wristwatch. Make-up and any other form of jewellery are forbidden.

Hair - Must be neat and tidy with no ‘extreme’ styles, two-tone colours of unnatural colours. Fashion styles, including very short hair with patterns etc. cut into the hair are not permitted. Long hair must be tied back in practical lessons for health and safety reasons.

As children are very active during playtimes, we ask that parents ensure that children wear flat shoes which are appropriate for running and climbing.  Please feel free to bring in wellies for wet weather.

Our sweatshirts, sweatcardigans and book bags can be purchased from either Shaw Hardcastle  or Ziggy's Schoolwear in Halifax town centre.  Their address is:

Shaw and Hardcastle, 20-22 Commercial Street, Halifax, HX1 1TA                   

Ziggy's Schoolwear, Westgate Arcade, 6-8 Albion Street, Halifax, HX1 1DU

School Meals & School Milk 

Phunky Foods

A Healthy Lunch

We are working closely with our partners at PhunkyFoods to showcase their Healthy Lunch message to the children. This message highlights the importance of choosing a healthy, well balanced school lunch; whether that’s a hot school meal or a packed lunch brought in from home.

Good nutrition in childhood can help to prevent a variety of health problems, both in the short term and later in life. There is increasing concern that many children are consuming too much fat, sugar and salt and too little fibre, fruit and vegetables. School lunches can contribute to almost a third of a child’s weekly food intake and therefore they need to be balanced and nutritious to make a positive contribution to a child’s health. A healthier lunch will also encourage children to be calmer and more on-task and focused during the afternoon at school.

You can find out more about the PhunkyFoods Healthy Lunch message, as well as their other healthy eating messages, at https://www.phunkyfoods.co.uk/parent/a-healthy-lunch-parents-information/ Please do take the time to look at the website as the information is there to help you to support your child at home.
