Prayer and Liturgy
“The effectiveness of the provision for Collective Worship is outstanding “
“Collective worship is highly valued and central to the life of the school… Worship is relevant, sincere and varied and makes a significant difference to the lives of the members of the school family”
Section 48 Inspection 2019
“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or troubled, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 19
Each half term, we explore a different Christian Value, brought to life through song, music, candles, flowers, scripture, formal and informal prayers, poetry, books, posters, mime and silence. There is a balance between formal and informal prayer intentions and a time to allow for spontaneous worship and celebrations. Attitudes of praise, thanksgiving and contrition are developed.
This is a time for sharing joy, sorrow, news and events. It is a time for us to come together to celebrate and give thanks; to worship God, to reflect on personal belief, to encourage faith and to respond to and celebrate life. Silence is valued for both collective and personal communion with God.
