Collective Worship
Collective worship is a central, special part of the school day for both children and staff. It is an opportunity for us to gather together to worship God (if we choose), to consider spiritual and moral issues and to explore our own beliefs. Collective worship provides daily spiritual development through invitational prayer, stillness, reflection and opportunities for deep thinking.
The children take active role in collective worship through leading part of or whole worships, leading in prayer and reflection, through singing and through opening and closing worships. Our worship has a distinctively Christian theme and we explore 6 of these throughout the year which include our four core Christian values of Respect, Community, Generosity and Wisdom.
We develop a theme across the term with the children. We select themes based on the needs of our school and members of our community.

During celebration worship we ensure the achievements of the children are celebrated. There are a number of ways that we recognise our children through demonstrating our school values and by being awarded the St George’s Stunner award.
In addition to our daily acts of worship, we take part in Lent and Advent reflections. These reflections happen during these special times of the year. The children lead the worship in calm and stillness. We all reflect on a theme and consider ways we can make changes to our lives learning from the word of God and the teachings of Jesus.
To mark the special times in the Christian calendar, the children take part in celebration services through a Christmas Church service, Christingle Service, the Easter celebration service, Lent Service and the leaver’s service. The children take an active part in the services and the local church lead supports in these celebrations.
During each week, our children engage in a daily act of worship.
