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:-
Autumn 1 2025 | Compassion, love and friendship |
Autumn 2 2025 | Hope and generosity |
Spring 1 2026 | Perseverance |
Spring 2 2026 | Forgiveness |
Summer 1 2026 | Service |
Summer 2 2026 | Truthfulness |
Summer Term 2026
In the first half of term, we will explore the idea of Christian Service, considering the actions each of us can take. We will explore these values through stories from the bible and through learning about inspirational people. We will be engaging with the summer stewardship challenge from the Diocese of Ely and will take part in the "God's Green Guardians" challenge, developing pupils’ abilities to see injustice, to become change makers and to be courageous in their actions.
"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace." 1 Peter 4:10
In the second half of the term we will explore the value of truthfulness. We will explore sharing the truth with compassion, considering the feelings of others. We will also think about the importance of telling the whole truth; avoiding exaggeration and telling the truth when it is difficult. We will consider people who have had the courage to be truthful in the face of challenges.
“Tell the truth to each other.” Zechariah 8.16
“Truthful words stand the test of time, but lies are soon exposed.” Proverbs 12:19
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 worship for us.
We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
