Community

Lythe Primary School is located in the centre of Lythe's village community.  We are actively involved in many of the cultural and social events within the village and surrounding area and often invite our neighbours to join in with our school activities.  We also think about the values that we share with the wider national and international community and do our best to prepare children to take their part in the wider world.

Local Events

Do come and join us at church events at St Oswald's!

Our village shop and tea room is a fantastic place for excellent local produce and is also great for freshly made takeaway hot and cold sandwiches. It supplies milk for the school and provisions for our breakfast and after-school clubs.

We are a very historic and interesting place!

There is always lots going on at the village hall. Pre-Covid, children from school took it in turns to help out at the Lunch Club - here we are serving our local community.

St. Oswald's Church

Our beautiful and ancient church warmly welcomes all visitors.

Our Partners

Mulgrave Community Sports Association

Lythe School is an active member of Mulgrave Community Sports Association which runs the sports facility next door to the school.

The Sports Association's facilities, including the parking, can be used by the school and provides a fantastic venue for matches and school sports day.

The Stephen Kanja Primary School

We foster international understanding through links with this primary school in the Shimba Hills, about 50km south of Mobassa in Kenya.

Mulgrave Group of Parishes

Our benefice includes six churches, three Mother-churches (St. Oswald, Lythe; St. Hilda, Hinderwell and Christchurch, Ugthorpe) and three daughter churches (St. Mary's, Sandsend; St. Nicholas, Roxby and St. Peter the Fisherman, Staithes). Click here for details of services, or check Parish Magazine for details each month (available in local shops).

    
During non-Covid times, the children of Lythe School come for a service in St Owald's church at Christmas (Christingle) at the beginning of Lent (Ash Wednesday) and on the feast of Ascension. Individual classes also visit the church to become familiar with its architecture and sacraments.


Our benefice is happy to welcome children to participate in, and receive, Holy Communion before Confirmation, with appropriate preparation. Please contact school, Rector or Curate if you would like your child to be prepared for Communion.

Special Services are held throughout the year and will be posted on this site.
