Collective Worship

First and foremost, collective worship provides an opportunity for our school community to connect with God and deepen peoples’ faith. Through prayer, singing, and reflection, we create a space where children can explore their spirituality and understand the teachings of Jesus in a supportive environment.

Moreover, these gatherings foster a sense of community. They bring together the children, teachers, and staff, allowing us to unite in shared values and beliefs. This collective experience helps cultivate a strong school spirit and encourages a culture of respect and kindness.

Additionally, collective worship promotes moral development. We often focus on biblical stories and teachings that highlight our school values such as compassion, truthfulness and courage. These lessons not only guide our children in their personal lives but also help them navigate their relationships with others.

Lastly, it serves as a moment of calm and reflection in our busy school day. It allows us all to pause, think, and appreciate the world around them, fostering a sense of gratitude and mindfulness.

To support us in our whole school collective worship, we use a resource called 'Roots and Fruits' by Imaginor, designed to support 'whole school' worship, which is rooted in Bible teaching. This focuses on our value for the term.

We enhance our Collective worship and curriculum by incorporating Lyfta.com, a fantastic digital platform that helps our pupils explore and understand different faiths and cultures around the world. Lyfta offers immersive stories and experiences that allow our children to connect with diverse communities and learn about their traditions, beliefs, and ways of life. This interactive approach fosters empathy, curiosity, and respect for others, which are essential values in our increasingly interconnected world.
