School Admissions - Church attendance:
If you are considering applications to either Becket Keys Secondary School or Hutton All Saints School in the next few years, or any other school application which will need Fr Andy to sign a Supplementary Information Form to verify your church attendance, please can you email: andy@huttonparish.com to let him know. Requirements for Hutton All Saints are listed as monthly attendance over 1 year.
Other schools vary but some require twice monthly attendance for 2 years.
In all cases, we strongly encourage parents to make themselves known to clergy and others in the church and to get involved in the life of the church where possible, so that when the time comes for forms to be signed, it does not cause any embarrassment on either side.

We are deeply sad to share the news that Mr Paul Whiting passed away on 20thSeptember. The funeral will take place at All Saints on Tuesday 15th October at 11am. All those who remember Paul, who was part of our congregation for many years, are welcome to attend.
Memorial Service at All Saints – 3rd November
In the upcoming season of Remembrance and All Souls, the parish will be holding a memorial service at All Saints Church on Sunday 3rd November at 6pm. This is an opportunity to remember and give thanks for those who have died - in the last year or at any time. All are welcome.
