Collective Worship

As a church school, we meet together for collective worship to learn about, and reflect upon, those values, considering how we can put them into action in our lives. This is an important time for all of us to gather together to learn, worship and grow in our understanding of God and of ourselves.

Each half term we focus on a particular value, with further opportunities for the children to think about these values through their curriculum studies and during reflection times. At the end of each week, we celebrate children’s achievements, acknowledging children who have demonstrated those values.

We believe that by living out these values our pupils are developing their spirituality and are being guided to become responsible, compassionate and respectful citizens.

Collective Worship is structured around four key elements: Gathering, Engaging, Responding, Sending.

Children are involved in the leading of collective worship, supported by school staff.

We work closely with the local church leaders to plan and deliver collective worship based on the Values for Life materials we use and are really pleased to have such strong links within our community.
