Collective Worship 2025-26

We will be continuing to focus on our key values. We start each school day by coming together as a school community for an act of Worship, linked to the understanding of the key value for the half term, and always including an opportunity for children to reflect on their own thoughts and feelings. 

We are very grateful for the regular input of local clergy and ministers and lay members of various denominations for their contributions to our worship in school and at our church services. 

We also visit the local church for a church service each term for key services such as Harvest Festival, Christmas and Easter, as well as the end of the school year.

The values for this year are as follows:-

Spring Term 2026

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4 verse 13

Our values for the first half term is perseverance. We will be thinking about our goals for the year and how we can stick with them to achieve, even when things seem difficult. “Fall seven times. Stand up eight.” Japenese proverb.

We will consider how perseverance helps us in the “race of life”, understanding that hard things take time and can be achieved by taking one small step at a time. “Let us run with perseverance the race that lies before us. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end.” Hebrews 12:1-2

In the second half of the term we will explore the value of forgiveness, considering the loving community we have at Teversham and how forgiveness of ourselves and one another is central to the way we grow. “We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19. “Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive others”. Colossians 3:13

We will consider the cross as symbol of forgiveness.

We will also be covering important events in the Church Calendar, including Epiphany, Shrove Tuesday, Lent, Mother’s Day, Palm Sunday and Holy Week, Good Friday and Easter.

We are very grateful for our local clergy and ministers who lead our worship each Wednesday. This term, Rev Nick Moir, vicar of Teversham Parish Church, Sharon Byrne, curate of Teversham Parish Church, Steve Mason, minister of Hope Church, and Danny Driver, vicar of Christ the Redeemer, will be leading us in continuing our exploration of parables from the Gospel of Luke and the key stories of Jesus leading up to the Easter events.

We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
