Let Your Light Shine

Class Worship

Collective Worship takes place every school day. We have a rota with a half-termly theme linked to our school Christian values. Worship is always invitational and inclusive. Different members of staff or our children's worship group lead collective worship each day. 

We use the GERS model (gather, engage, respond, send) and include listening to music or singing. Collective Worship makes a unique contribution to pupils’ spiritual and moral development and more generally to a positive school ethos.

Children in Explorers love to hold the pebbles to their hearts and reflect during Class Worship time when the candle is lit and the lights are turned off.

Reflection time in Pioneers.  They are able to write their thoughts on the pad or just sit and reflect in the quiet area.

Children in Adventurers have a quiet area in the woodland around a table and chairs that has been carefully made from God's natural trees. 

In Discoverers, children take the time to hold pebbles and reflect during Class Worship time whilst listening to stories from The Old Testament.
