Collective Worship

In order to help our children love, learn, grow and inspire, we recognise the importance of collective worship. Such opportunities allow pupils and adults to grow spiritually through regular practice of reflection and enlightenment. Worship is led in a way that it is accessible to all. Children regularly act out stories from the Bible for a mixed audience and time is given to reflect on what the message is and how we might apply the teachings of Jesus in our own lives today. Our collective worship provision is varied including songs, stories, values, prayers, reflection, Open the Book Bible, Roots and Fruits, family and community services led by both the children and the local clergy. Our school website and Facebook are accessed parents, enabling us to reach into the homes sharing the benefits of collect worship.

Wednesday Worship

Every Wednesday, the school community share in Wednesday Worship at St John’s Church, Pencombe which is situated next to the school.

Families and friends are invited to be part of the congregation and worship with the children.

Reverend Sidwell starts proceedings with the normal liturgy of introduction communion and praise and on the first Wednesday of each half term there is a communion.

On the second Wednesday of each month, the children from the school lead the collective worship using our Christian values by acting our Bible stories and leading in prayer.
