Collective Worship
Inclusive Invitational Inspirational
We have an act of Collective Worship every day, to which every child within the school is invited to attend (whole school, key stage or in the classroom).
All teaching and ideas are Christian and follow the teachings of the Bible, which are explored and made relevant to life today. All acts of worship have a Bible story or Bible passage as its focus.
The Leader creates a welcoming and inviting atmosphere conducive to worship, by:

Displaying an image, quote or question to engage the children in the theme | ||||||

| ||||||
We welcome the children by lighting the candle and by saying an Anglican liturgical greeting /prayer (The Lord be with you...) | ||||||
We ensure the children always have a role within the worship. This could be planned or spontaneous and engage children individually, in groups or as a whole congregation. We are creative and allow the children freedom and opportunities to be creative within the worship experiences.
