Collective Worship
All children take part in daily Collective Worship. Through Collective Worship our children begin to understand the distinctive features of Anglican practice and the centrality of prayer in worship. Our daily Worship plays a very important part of school life and always starts our school day.
To help us with Collective Worship we welcome our weekly visits from YEAST, who explore Bible stories with the children and from the vicar of All Saints Church, Rev Stuart Grant.
Collective Worship themes are planned on a termly basis and enable us to reflect on our school vision, our Christian values, the key concepts from Understanding Christianity and the major Christian festivals as well as any current issues that may arise. We also follow the Journey Through the Bible resources produced by the Diocese of York.
