Collective Worship
“From small beginnings come great things”
Our Christian vision is inspired by the Parable of the Mustard Seed, Matthew 13:31–32.
Collective worship brings our school community together to reflect, sing, pray and explore how our Christian vision can guide our everyday lives. It offers time to pause, consider important questions and think about how we care for ourselves, one another and the wider world.
Welcoming everyone
Our worship is rooted in the Christian tradition and welcomes children and adults of all faiths and none. We respect different beliefs and encourage children to reflect in ways that are meaningful to them. Prayer is invitational, allowing everyone to respond in their own way.
What children experience
Through Bible stories, music, discussion and quiet reflection, children explore themes such as kindness, thankfulness, forgiveness and courage. Worship also helps us mark significant times in the Christian calendar, including Harvest, Advent, Christmas and Easter.
Children are encouraged to connect these themes with their own experiences and consider how small acts of care can make a difference.
Music and participation
Singing is an important part of our shared school life, including our weekly whole-school singing assembly. At celebration assemblies, confident pupil pianists play as children arrive and leave.
We encourage children to contribute ideas, reflections and prayers, helping them take an active role in the spiritual life of our school.
Worship and our school community
Families are welcome at our celebration assemblies and other school events, with details shared through school communications.
