Collective Worship

Academic Year 2024-2025

The school will be holding whole school Collective Worship this year. Our provision of Collective Worship will run on a rota to continue the widely linked provision across the Launde Deanery of schools.

On Mondays, the theme of the week will be introduced by the Headteacher - we use themes, our termly Christian Values and our Route 2 Resilience values as a basis for our Collective Worship.

On Tuesdays, we continue using our chosen themes led by Class Teachers, Reverend Jonathan and Keith Evans (Church Warden) on a rota basis.

On Wednesdays, the whole school will reflect within their classes on the themes of the week with tasks and activities provided by the Class Teachers.

On Thursdays, the school will enjoy sessions with the Open the Book team from St John the Baptist Parish Church in Billesdon or The Billesdon Chapel to share within the classes or as a school.

On Fridays, the school will celebrate together and share news in our Achievement Assemblies.

Each term there will be Class Collective Worships delivered to the whole school based on the Route 2 Resilience theme or Class-Led Services developed with Reverend Jonathan at St John the Baptist Church to the whole school, our parent community and the local congregation.

Following on from the 8 words we chose to link our Christian Values with our Route 2 Resilience program (Resilience, Co-ooperation, Kindness, Creativity, Respect & Independence), our next step along our spiritual journey is to learn about the Bible story we have chosen to learn about at different levels throughout the school. Each class will be looking at our Bible story each academic year to explore their understanding of the story through discussions, art, writing, drama, dance, music, song and other activities, at appropriate levels.

To start inspiring them, below is an image that will be explored of ‘Jesus with the Woman at the well’ by Jhoti Sahi.
