Collective Worship

Collective worship is an opportunity to learn, worship and celebrate together.

Our collective worship is structured around the Values for Life programme. Each half term we focus on a different Christian value and learn how we can live our lives according to these values. Recent themes have included Hope, Forgiveness and Perseverance. We develop our understanding of our Values by learning from examples in the Bible, listening to stories, finding out how other people live these values and participating in drama. We welcome visitors - virtually - who tell us about their work, interests or special events. 

Our Friday Celebration Collective Worship is a celebration of our hard work and an opportunity to receive certificates linked to our Rainbow Pledge, share successes in Sport, Music and any outside achievements and find out how well our House teams are doing. We have weekly videos from our local Open the Book team who use drama to tell Bible stories, involving children in the action.

Children are encouraged to participate in Collective Worship by leading a prayer, suggesting ideas and taking on other responsibilities.
