A Church School
St Mary the Virgin, Brabourne, is our much-loved local church. We regularly come together there to celebrate key moments in the Christian calendar, including Harvest, Christmas, Easter, and our Leavers’ Service. Our vicar, Reverend Chris Denyer, leads the Stour Downs Parish—formed in 2018 to serve the six rural communities of Brabourne, Mersham, Monks Horton, Sellindge, Smeeth, and Stowting.
Our connection with Brabourne Church goes beyond worship. Pupils visit throughout the year to explore its rich history and heritage, deepening their understanding of faith, community, and local tradition. These experiences strengthen our sense of belonging and help pupils see how Christian values are lived out in everyday life.
Brabourne CEP School also enjoys strong links with the Diocese of Canterbury and other local Church of England schools, including Stowting CEP School and Stelling-Minnis CEP School, Chilham CEP School, working together to share ideas, celebrate faith, and grow in friendship.
