Collective Worship

Every day our school community comes together for collective worship. As a Church school our collective worship reflects the ethos of the school and the traditions of the Church of England while valuing the contribution of those of other faiths.

We encourage children to regard collective worship as a period of calm, respectful reflection: to be quiet and thoughtful, to listen carefully to the leader and to participate in prayer and songs if they feel able. We create a peaceful atmosphere by using music and candles and other elements that act as a focal point for the attention of the children.

Every day, a different member of staff or clergy leads our collective worship:

  • Mondays- Years 1-6 The Big Think Assembly in the hall led by a class teacher

  • Tuesdays- Year 1-6 Singing Assembly in the hall lead by the Deputy Head

  • Wednesdays- Years 1-6 Worship Assembly in the hall led by the Head of School

  • Thursdays- Years 1-6 Collective Worship in the hall led by Fr. Staffan

  • Fridays- EYFS – Yr6 Celebration Assembly in the hall led by the SPAH Parliament pupils

We encourage all children to attend, however if there are any parents who wish to withdraw their children from collective worship, please contact us to make an appointment for an informal chat with the Head of School.
