This special connection helps our children to develop both spiritually and academically while also fostering a sense of belonging within our wider community.
Collective Worship
Collective worship in our school takes place every day. Across the week, children take part in whole-school, key stage, and class-based worship. Our worship is proudly pupil-led, with adults providing guidance and support where needed.
Each term, our worship is shaped by one of our core values:
Autumn Term – Kindness
Spring Term – Respect
Summer Term – Friendship
We are so lucky to have our brilliant Christian Youth Worker, who leads engaging and inspiring worship assemblies throughout the year – often joined by her wonderful puppets, which the children absolutely love!
