Collective Worship
Collective Worship
Daily prayers are said in class at the beginning and end of each day, and before lunch. These may be teacher or child lead prayers or more well-known traditional prayers thanking God for our day, our friendships and the food we have.
We gather together as a school community to pray each day too! Our collective worship is delivered in the school hall or in the chapel and is led by one of the faithful adults in our school.
