Collective Worship
Through our collective worship provision we aim to encourage children’s natural sense of wonder and to develop their qualities of curiosity, celebration, faith and gratitude which form the foundation of the worship of God.
Through this we want to contribute to children’s spiritual, moral and cultural development and enable them to reflect specifically on Christian values and beliefs.
To engage our children and provide a variety of approaches to collective worship, we aim to foster a sense of community and unity within the school.
We aspire to offer children an opportunity for the understanding of God in a way that is individual and appropriate for them, and which allows them to be comfortable in worship.
During our Siams Inspection (sept 2024) it was referenced that: 'Collective worship is central to the school day and has a significant impact on enabling all to flourish spiritually.'
Each week we congregate to celebrate our collective worship in All Saints Church led by Father Noel. The positioning of our school enables this regular link and our children respect the church as a place of worship.
Our Collective Worship builds on our school values of; Community, Creativity, Joy, Curiosity and Confidence. Each term we explore a Value in depth. the photo below shows our display of Joy from our school Collective Worship responses and our own celebration of our pilgrimage to Wells Cathedral to see the Gaia Exhibit.
