We believe that Collective Worship is a significant educational activity which underpins the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all children and staff. It reflects and explores the school’s distinctive character and contributes to the academic achievement, personal development and well-being of all learners.

Collective worship is planned to provide all members of the school community opportunities to:

• Worship God in an inclusive and sensitive way. It should be an experience that does not offend the integrity of the non-religious or those of different faith
• Learn from Biblical and Christian teaching.
• Develop a personal understanding of salvation and The Trinity - God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
• Develop and reflect on a common ethos and shared values
• Personally respond to worship in a way that impacts daily life
• Respond to Christian language and symbolism and experience stillness and quiet
• Experience a variety of forms of prayer and meditation. These might include praise, seeking forgiveness or quiet reflection
• Begin to understand the nature and purpose of worship in the Anglican and other Christian traditions found in the UK and worldwide
• Celebrate and give thanks for achievements of those within the school and to take part in local, national and international occasions of significance, including festivals 

Our Collective Worship structure remains as similar as possible throughout the week, including in class worships. We use the same shared slides each week to ensure that there is consistency.
