Collective Worship

As a church school, our daily act of worship is really important to us. Our worship is invitational, inclusive and inspirational. In worship, we help children to develop spiritually whether they are Christian, belong to another faith or have no faith.  We reflect on our world and our place in it, as well as thinking about the rights of children across the world.

We invite families to join us for whole school collective worship twice per week at 9.00am:

Mondays: Amazing Attitude Award Assembly – awards chosen by class teachers for great learning behaviours.

Fridays: World Aware Worship, including celebration of birthdays from the week (Sunday-Saturday)

We will let grown-ups know if your child is receiving an award or will be having their birthday candles, but you are welcome to come on any of these days, whether your child will be at the front or not.

Once per half term, usually on the last Wednesday, we hold our ‘Let Your Light Shine’ worship, where children are invited to bring any badges, medals, certificates etc from clubs outside of school to show their achievements to the whole school. Grown-ups are also welcome to join us for this worship.

If you would like to join our worship, please come into school through the external hall doors accessible from the staff car park off Heath Road South.  We ask you to sign into school so we know how many people we have on site. There are chairs at the back of the hall for grown-ups visiting us.

Please note: we do not allow photography or videos during worship, but if your child is being celebrated, we will send them to you at the end to have a hug and you may then take an individual photo.

As a whole school we also visit St Laurence Church, Northfield, to hold celebrations of some of the main Christian festivals. We are very grateful for families who can help us walk to church and back and join our service there.
