Worship

Definition of Collective Worship

​Collective worship in schools should aim to provide the opportunity for pupils to worship God, to consider spiritual and moral issues and to explore their own beliefs; to encourage participation and response, whether through active involvement in the presentation of worship or through listening to and joining in the worship offered; and to develop community spirit, promote a common ethos and shared values and reinforce positive attitudes.
Religious Education and Collective Worship Circular 1/94 (para 50
​Collective worship is central to the life of our school.  Worship offers the children and others in our school an opportunity to reflect on our school values and issues in the context of our Christian ethos. 
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other. Ephesians 
Our collective worship provides the pupils and staff the opportunity to
  • worship God
  • experience a variety of styles of worship
  • celebrate: 
    • Christian festivals
    • school values
    • achievements
  • grow in understanding of and participation in prayer
  • develop a reflective approach to life and reflect on Christian values
  • develop as a community based on Christian values
  • participate and respond, through active involvement in the planning, leading, presentation and evaluation of worship
  • feel safe and affirmed
At times worship will reflect aspects of the curriculum and in particular will
​·            nurture spiritual growth
·            consider moral issues in a Christian context
·            Enhance social understanding
·            explore beliefs drawn from their own cultural heritage
