Our daily collective worship is central and an important part of the school day for staff and pupils. Children are actively encouraged to engage in collective worship as well as lead collective worship. Each day we hold a different type of Christian based worship that fosters pupil’s spiritual development. Everyone is welcome, of all faiths and none. We call upon a range of links in the community and resources to support worship. Values based collective worship uses materials created by Imaginor publications or the Values for Life materials created by Jumping Fish publications of Gloucestershire Diocese. We use the Understanding Christianity project at school as part of our Religious Education programme, but often use it to enable children to ‘see’ where Bible stories are in the Old or New Testaments.

Collective worship provides a space and a place for the telling of the Christian story, the mutual giving and receiving of worth as well as times of reflection and prayer. We aim for our collective worship to be inspirational and transformational.
