School Worship

Every day an act of worship based on our termly Christian value is held in school. Every worship opens with us lighting three candles to represent the Holy Trinity of God  - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

 

Taking time to think and reflect in worship is an important part of our time together.

During the worship children are encouraged to listen, think and share idea with each other, as well as being given time to reflect  within themselves. Prayers are shared, often including The Lord’s Prayer and we especially enjoying singing hymns and worship songs together.

The acts of worship are led by a range of people and include many opportunities for pupils to participate. Vicar John comes in every week to lead worship with us.

A typical week of worship would include:

  • Class worship where we explore and reflect on our value together in a more intimate environment.
  • A visit by the local Open the Book Team to explore Bible stories.
  • Worship by Vicar John
  • Worships led by Mr Dean or one of the teachers.

Parents and local advisors are invites to join worship at various times during the school term.

 

   

Lighting the candle at the start of our collective worship. Some pupils are ready to do some acting in one of our act of worship! 

Acting out a modern retelling of the story Jesus told about the rich man and the widow giving money at the temple – which was true generosity?
