Collective Worship

An act of Collective Worship takes place every day and is an important part of school life, making space for pupils and staff to come together and share in worship through learning, music, reflection and prayer.

Our worship is inclusive and invites all children in the school community to be part of the experience while respecting the integrity of family and cultural backgrounds.

The weekly pattern of collective worship looks like this:

• Monday – Whole school worship where a value or theme is explored through story or sharing an activity. ‘Our big question’ is introduced which connects to the week’s/term’s theme. This is usually led by a member of the Senior Leadership Team.
• Tuesday – Whole school worship led by a member of the  Avon River Team.
• Wednesday – Whole school singing practice which includes hymns and songs of worship.
• Thursday – Class worship where ‘our big question’ is explored in greater detail.
• Friday - Celebration Assembly.

Throughout the year, there are opportunities for families and members of the wider community to join our Collective Worships, for example, at Harvest, Christmas and Easter.

Our School Prayer

This is our school
Let peace live here
Let the rooms be full of happiness
Let love be all around
Help us remember that as we live, work, learn and grow together,
You are with us in all we do
Amen
