Worship
‘Sowing the Seeds of tomorrow; growing in the light of the Lord‘
Collective Worship is an important part of the day. We base our worship around the church calendar. We have collective worship every day. Monday is a whole school worship led by the Headteacher and/or our Worship Leaders. Tuesday is worship through song, Wednesday’s whole school worship is led by our Vicar, Reverend Sue, Thursday is class based worship based around ‘Picture News’ and Friday is Celebration worship. This gives us many opportunities for the whole school to join together in worship as well as the opportunity for smaller class worships. Collective Worship is at the heart of our school life and the Governors see it as an essential part of all pupils’ education. As such we are concerned to resource it properly and ensure that it is of the highest standard. The worship and prayer life of the school is not limited to the legally required daily acts of worship. Opportunities will be taken to use prayer and meditation exercises in the curriculum generally and at the end of (morning and afternoon) sessions as well as before lunch.
The school meets together for Collective Worship but there will be times when we assemble together for other purposes, e.g. important notices and announcements. Such 'assembly' times are legally distinct from Collective Worship and parents' rights to withdraw their children do not apply.
