'Let your light shine' is the new message being shared at Winslow CE School.
The Rt Revd Alan Wilson, the Bishop of Buckingham, spoke on that theme at a special service attended by pupils, staff, and parents.
The choir of St Laurence Church led by Derry French, their music director, joined in. A competition saw 350 pupils design art work on that theme.
The winners, Maisie from year five and Florence from year four, had their designs turned into bookmarks, produced by the nearby Waddesdon CE School.
Special thanks were given to Waddesdon, a nearby secondary school and to the Revd Andrew Lightbown, who set up a chaplaincy from St Laurence Church to fund the bookmarks and support the school. Cazz Colmer, head teacher said: "We are a school that is rated good by Ofsted and our inclusive Christian ethos welcomes all children aged three to 11.
Each child is unique, reflecting some of God's light every day in what they do and on those they meet.
Each one will find excitement, discovery, warmth and friendship here in the glow of that light.
These bookmark designs are just one example of our pupils flourishing as individuals and engaging with each other.
Such light dispels all kinds of darkness, bringing clarity, hope and purpose to our school and to the local community"
