Collective Worship

As a school we believe that collective worship and sharing time together is a crucial part of our broader school life. Worship is carried out five times a week. Once a week we also have a visitor from a place of worship whether that be from a Christian denomination or another religion to share their religion, customs and festivals with us. Children are also involved in a spirituality based collective worship in their classrooms. These acts of collective worship will reflect the vision and aims of our school. We take pride in our collective worship.

The acts of Worship are led by either the Headteacher or a Class Teacher and on a Tuesday by a visiting faith leader. 

Collective Worship in our school is planned for by the member of staff leading Worship that week. The theme for the Worship is the same for the whole week. Worship links to our school values, Christian festivals and key important dates in the Christian calendar. The headteacher and the church priest work closely together to ensure the topics to discuss are relevant and meaningful to the children.

Parents are entitled to withdraw their child/children from Collective Worship for religious reasons.  Alternative provision for the withdrawn child is negotiated with the individual family.
