Collective Worship

In our Voluntary Aided school, Collective Worship is of a broadly Christian character and takes into account the practices and teachings of the Church of England. We normally base our worship on the teachings of Christ and traditions of the Christian Church. However, we conduct them in a manner that is sensitive to the individual faith and beliefs or non-beliefs of all members of the school.

Collective Worship is an integral part of our school life and is organised as follows:

Monday	Whole school worship, centred around a focus value	Headteacher
Tuesday	Choral worship	Headteacher
Wednesday	Whole school worship at St Peter's Church	member of the local clergy
Thursday	Class-based worship developing the theme or value introduced in Collective Worship on Monday	Class Teacher
Friday	Whole school celebration, welcoming family and friends from our local community	Headteacher

Parents have the right to withdraw their child from Collective Worship and are not required to provide a reason for doing so.

Please see the following documents outlining our policy, themes and an example of Collective Worship. Additional information is available on the following pages Home/School Collective Worship Themes and Values and Values Theological Background
