Collective Worship

The children and staff at St George’s CE Primary value collective worship as a special time to come together to pray, give thanks and reflect. There are opportunities to learn more about the love of God through Bible stories, music, moments of reflection and prayer.  We have a deep respect for all faiths represented in our school and our children delight in leading special worship sessions where they learn about a range of festivals.

Our inclusive and invitational approach ensures that collective worship reflects our Christian vision and values, fostering a sense of unity among pupils and adults alike.

Children take part in a daily act of worship either as a class or whole school. The worshipping calendar focusses on the scripture that underpins our theologically rooted Christian vision, celebrations during the liturgical year and the incorporation of other global, national and local days of significance.

We take care to ensure that collective worship is invitational so that pupils from a range of faiths and none participate with integrity.

Children also take part in ‘Picture News’ once a week to provide opportunities for children to become more aware of and discuss local, national and global issues

The weekly pattern follows:

Singing Worship (Worship through song)

Scripture and Reflection (What can I learn from this scripture?

 How can I apply it to my beliefs and values? 

 Picture News and Quest Passports (applying our Christian values to becoming the best we can be and showing Courageous Advocacy).
