Collective Worship is a daily time when all children and staff gather as a community to share, reflect, and deepen our school’s Christian vision. Our collective worship takes place in our school hall.
During Collective Worship, there are many opportunities for spiritual growth, encouraging a sense of awe and wonder. It is a time to worship and celebrate, reflect on our own developing beliefs, and gain an understanding of the beliefs of others. We also think about how we can be “lights for others” in our actions and attitudes.
As part of worship, children work together to respond to what they have heard and explored. Throughout the year, we invite a range of visitors to lead Collective Worship, including our vicar.
