Collective Worship
Collective Worship
Our Children come together to celebrate daily Collective Worship. Our Worships reflect the traditions of the Church of England and develop learners' understanding of Anglican traditions and practice as well provide time in the busy school day to be still, listen and reflect.
Collective worship gives pupils and school staff the opportunity to:
- Engage in an act of community.
- Express praise and thanksgiving to God.
- Be still and reflect.
- Explore the big questions of life and respond to national events.
- Foster respect and deepen spiritual awareness.
- Reflect on the character of God and on the teachings of Christ.
- Affirm Christian values and attitudes.
- Share each other's joys and challenges.
- Celebrate special times in the Christian calendar.

Tuesday - Whole school collective worship with Reverend Tim or Open the Book
Wednesday - Whole school worship through song with Mrs Parker
Thursday - Class worship to discuss and share reflections based on Monday's assembly
