Worship and our Christian Values
Acts of Collective Worship
There is an act of collective worship every day.
The Association use the resources Values for Life as the basis for a three year rolling programme. VALUES FOR LIFE’ is produced by Gloucester Diocese. It provides themes for a three year period and is recommended specifically because it helps schools focus clearly on things which should be at the heart of the community when they gather together for Collective Worship. We cover each theme for half-term so that it can be adequately developed both in Collective Worship but also in the life of the school as a whole. Sometimes the pupils are asked to lead the worship on the half-termly theme. The pupils, in small groups, work together to share a story, a prayer and a reflection to deliver their message.
In addition our vicar Rev. Linda Berry regularly leads school collective worship. Rev. Linda follows the liturgical calendar, teaching us about important times in the Christian year.
There is also an assembly each week which focuses on news events or key issues where we ask the children to apply the Christian and British values and to pose questions or make comments.
The final part of every school week is our Friday Sharing Assembly. Here we invite parents and carers to join us each week in celebrating the achievements of the children.

On Thursday 11th November the whole school went out and stood for a minutes silence before planting 100 poppies to mark the 100 years since the end of WW1.
This is also the start of the creation of our outdoor reflective area for the whole school community. We hope that this area for will be a place for children, parents and staff will use for quiet reflection.
Thanks you to all children, staff and their partners who painted the poppies.
Christmas Carols sung outside around the tree
This year we decided that we would take our carol singing outside so that we could enjoy being together as a whole school. We enjoyed violin and flute playing as well as singing some of our favourite carols. We ended by joining together to say our school prayer.
