Collective Worship

Worship forms a very special part of daily life in school, whether we gather together as a whole school family or spend time together in our classes or Key Stages. It is a time to learn from Bible stories and events, share an understanding of God’s love and relate the Gospel message and its values to our everyday lives. It is also a time for prayer and reflection and an opportunity to refer to current world-wide events or issues which may, or may not, affect our lives.

We believe that it is important to develop core values by which to live and moral standards that build children's character, spiritual awareness and self-esteem.

 

   

Our Core Gospel Values for 2024-25

We believe in ourselves, have big dreams and work hard to make them happen.

 

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as if working for the Lord” Colossians 3v23

 

Integrity

We are honest and do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

 

“May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope Lord is in you” Psalm 25:21

 

Love

We are kind and patient with others, we care, share and help others to feel special and safe.

 

“Do everything in love” 1 Corinthians 16:14

We are brave enough to stand up for what is right, are not afraid to learn and push ourselves to be the best that we can be.

 

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go”  Joshua 1:9
