With Community at Heart

Principles of Collective Worship in our primary schools:

We believe that collective worship is an integral part of our schools’ ethos and allows us to provide a cohesive way to:

  • Reinforce the strong sense of community in our school and the wider environment
  • Share our whole school values
  • Contemplate ourselves and our place in the world with reference to current global events
  • Contemplate our beliefs (both spiritual and moral) and explore the beliefs of others
  • Share in and celebrate the wonder and diversity of the world in which we live
  • Make links to our curriculum and reinforce spiritual, moral, social and cultural development
  • Experience reflection through meditation, prayer and silence
