Collective Worship
There is a daily act of worship in school which is wholly or mainly of a Christian nature. Our worship is linked to our school Christian Values which are promoted by our pupils, staff and community. Our key Christian Values are Faith, Hope, Love, Respect and Compassion.
Our daily act of worship lasts for approximately 20 minutes. We sing songs, share stories, reflect on our lives and the lives of others and give praise to God.
We say Grace together as a class before we eat our lunch and we also say a prayer at the end of our school day.
Parents are able to withdraw their child from our daily act of worship and a meeting with Mrs Alcock, our Headteacher, can be arranged to discuss this.
In each class we have a reflection corner, where children can sit and write their own prayers or simply reflect.
We teach this version of the Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
