Collective Worship

As a Church of England School, our assemblies are referred to as Collective Worship. They have a Christian underpinning in content, but prayer is invitational.

Our Collective Worship has a three-part structure to it: Learning, Reflecting and Responding. We begin with an ‘opening’ and ‘closing’ written to reflect our vision as a school. Our Year 6 children  lead key aspects of our worship including the opening and closing prayer, lighting of candles and assisting the Collective Worship lead on the day.

Each of our school values are taught through our Collective Worship. These are taught  through story, Bible stories, parables, poetry and videos. The children reflect on what they have learnt and consider how they can use their knowledge in their lives.

We welcome Mrs Brawn of St Peter’s Church several times each term to lead our Collective Worship and we attend St Peter’s Church almost termly for key Christian events or significant events to school.

Parents are invited to Celebration Assemblies on Fridays when the school celebrates the achievements of individuals and groups. Children are invited to share their successes in and out of school.

Singing is a key part of our Collective Worship. We enjoy singing as a school and the children learn a wide range of songs that enhance their learning of values.
