Collective Worship, RE and SIAMS

Our School’s Christian Vision

To inspire a love of learning and discover how to make a difference in the world.

“With God, all things are possible.” Matthew 9 v26

As a school we are a kind, caring community built on the Christian foundations of love and respect.

We are a school where:

Everyone matters and all are equal.

We all have a clear sense of belonging.

Individuality is celebrated.

Everyone is proud of themselves and proud of the school.

"Let every detail in your lives - words, actions, whatever - be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way."   Colossians 3:17

Because we are all special in God’s eyes.

About Our School  

In 2019, SIAMS judged us to be a “good” church school.  Our SIAMS report says;

1. The strong and passionate leadership has created a vibrant, inclusive Christian community in which everyone flourishes.
2. The clear vision reflects the local community, motivates and inspires everyone in the school family. This has a profound impact on pupil’s wellbeing.
3. Pupils are passionate about religious education (RE). The subject is instrumental in helping pupils to live well together and inspires a sense of self belief.
4. Collective worship is joyful and uplifting and pupils are involved with many aspects of worship.

Collective Worship

We have a Collective Worship everyday where we spend time together as a school family.  Collective Worship is led by school staff and our local vicar leads worship on a regular basis.  We also welcome visitors to Collective Worship.

In Collective Worship we aim to develop a sense of:

• awe, wonder and mystery
• interdependence with the natural world
• pattern, sequence and order
• self worth and value of others

and an awareness:

• that life involves choices of belief, attitude, behaviour and relationships
• that there are issues of meaning, purpose and value in life.

All collective worships are based on the principles that they should be:

• inclusive
• educational
• spiritual
• contribute to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of children
• special times where the children can feel secure and relaxed and share with others to foster a feeling of community.
