Collective Worship

​'I can do all things through him who strengthens me...'  Philippians 4:13

Our school is a church school and we are proud of its foundation.  Our collective worship reflects the Christian roots of the school.  We have whole school collective worship every day, with different staff leading, as well as worship led by Reverend Tiffer or his wife and religious story-teller Amy.  There will be songs, a story and prayers based round a Christian value. We follow the Values for Life scheme. Our school notice board reflects our ongoing work with the church, and our reflection area encourages the children to ‘stop and reflect’ on our term’s themes.

​Our school family endeavour to be their BEST: Believe, Embrace & Shine Together!
​
This year our themes have included generosity, creativity and wisdom. Year 5 and 6 pupils are being trained to lead collective worship and a bible reading group is being formed.  

We visit our local church regularly during the year. Twice a term the children take part in a Family Service, all are warmly invited. All children are familiar with the order of service and can recite The Lord’s Prayer from memory.

Celebrations are led by the children, including Easter and Harvest festival. They are always well attended, often by members of the local community. Children share artwork, songs, poetry and readings.

Our Leavers Assembly is also held at the church – an emotional event that will remain in the hearts and minds of all involved forever. Afterwards FORS provide tea and coffee for staff, parents and pupils within the church, strengthening the bond between the church and community. This is contrast to the school’s nativities where staging and props are erected in the church yearly and the school’s community invited to watch this holy event celebrating the birth of Christ.

Our school banner can be seen in the church. At the School’s Service children proudly parade their banner at St Edmundsbury Cathedral. Parents and pupils are part of this celebration.
​
Our classes have RE sessions in the church from time to time, learning about important Christian festivals such as Easter and Pentecost.
Our school has an exceptional, tangible link with the church that underpins the ethos of all we do.
