Worship
Our school worship timetable brings us together each day through the school week to share reflective thought, song, prayer and celebration.
Each Monday Whole School Worship we use a text, film or images to focus our thoughts and understanding linked to our Christian Values. Our book choices range from The Holy Bible, well known classic stories, to traditional tales to newly published texts. We also refer to the No Outsiders scheme that was introduced to our school in 2024 and it involves the use of age appropriate story books, created by Andrew Moffat MBE, who was nominated for the Global Teacher Prize.
No Outsiders has three core values:
- Respect for diversity through education in schools;
- Commitment to community cohesion through understanding and acceptance of difference;
- Promotion of dialogue to counter fear and hate in society.
You can find more information at the No Outsiders website.
Wednesday worship is led by Reverends Mike and Matt, again bringing our Christian Values to the forefront of our minds. Illustrated through Bible stories, questions, discussion, prayer and live music.
Our end of week Whole School Worship each Friday take a 'Sing and Celebrate' focus. We share our experiences of Christian Values in action and celebrate together. Children, and staff, are encouraged to celebrate with us their achievements and demonstrations of 'Living life in all its fulness', through new experiences and challenges that have been embraced, certificates and trophies that have been awarded and successes in and out of school.
Through the each week we also come together for class and then Key Stage worship where we are able to focus on current affairs through Picture News or Bible stories with a BIG question.
Our worship focus and resources are shared with families each week in our weekly newsletter to allow further thought and discussion at home.
