As a Church of England school we have a special link with the local church of St. Peter’s, Worfield.  Rev’d Jeannetta Stokes frequently leads collective worship for the school and we attend the church for special celebrations along with other members of staff, Head of School, visitors and pupils. 

Through our Collective worship we aim to:

• To inspire individuals to choose their own positive personal, social, moral and spiritual beliefs and values and to be aware of developing and deepening them as world citizens;
• To widen our knowledge and understanding of different cultures and faiths, including our own;
• To develop knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith and demonstrate how to live life as Christian;
• To explore together the ways in which individuals can live out our Christian faith;
• To develop our awareness of the nature of the Church and the relationship between the Church and the community;
• To explore together the richness of the mixed culture of our country, recognising, understanding and valuing both similarities and differences in belief and practices;
• To develop in pupils a capacity to engage in a search for meaning and purpose in order to enhance their own spiritual and moral growth.

Right of Withdrawal In accordance with the Education Reform Act of 1998

We acknowledge the right of parents to withdraw their child from Acts of Collective Worship and religious education should they wish to do so, and if this situation arises within school, suitable arrangements for the supervision of the child during these periods will be made.

St. Peter's Award

Our St. Peter's Award is given out at our Celebration Worship on Fridays. This award recognises those children that are living out their lives through our Christian values. 

Open The Book

Our Open The Book team visit school every Tuesday morning to deliver our Collective Worship through fun, drama filled sessions that really bring the Bible to life. This is something the children always look forward to especially as our older children are often called up for acting parts! 

What do our pupils think?

"I like hearing about the values and seeing them around school" - Year 2 pupil

"I like seeing children up there and helping [in Open the Book worships]" - Year 4 pupil

"I get to learn how to respect Christianity and be like it" - Year 6 pupil

Why is going to a church school so special?

"In a way, it gives you more options. I don't feel like I am forced to be in Christianity, I can choose and still feel like part of the school" - Year 6 pupil.
