Collective Worship
Collective Worship takes a high priority at our school and takes place every day. It is a highly valued time when our school community come together to learn and reflect. As a Church of England school our worship is wholly Christian. NB we do learn about other religions in our RE lessons.
Worship is a little different this year as we are working under COVID-19 restrictions. This means that we can't all go to the hall for Worship.
Here you can read our Collective Worship Policy. We have a value of the year for 2020-21 which is Hope. This will be our focus for this year - Hope that things will improve and that God will keep us safe.
The song below is our theme tune for the year.

This can be led by Canon Steve or Open the Book via a video link, or it might just be a time of listening to and reflecting on some worship songs. |
Led by Mr Wallace on a video link. This is a No Outsiders themed worship and is all about celebrating diversity and accepting difference. Everything links back to the message from the story of the Good Samaritan. We sing our No Outsiders song and say our No Outsiders prayer. |

We start worship with a greeting followed by our school prayer and the lighting of a candle. This is led by one of the children.
Our School Prayer
Today is a new day
I am in your hands Lord,
Be with in in all I do, in all I think, in all I say
I ask these things in Jesus Christ's name,
Amen
We end worship with the following dismissal.
Go in the light and peace of Christ.
Thanks be to God.
We exit worship to the same music that we entered to.
