In addition to the above, children and staff are also invited to pray spontaneously either individually or as part of a larger group. 

School Worship

 

School worship follows a series of interlinked themes related to our school values. These are Love, Forgiveness, Respect, Resilience, Curiosity and Stewardship. Each value is explored through whole school and 'Celebration of the Word' worship and, where appropriate, this is followed up through class worship.

 

Worship Organisation:

The school's worship timetable is as follows:

 

Monday:           Values Worship 

Tuesday:          Singing Worship

Wednesday:    Class Collective Worship / RSE

Thursday:        Celebration of the Word Worship

Friday:             Celebration Worship

 

 

Our School Prayers

Prayer is an opportunity for children and staff to be still and listen as well as speak to God.

To support prayer life and these listening and speaking conversations, we have set prayers that children learn and say on every single school day. 

 

These include:

 

Our Morning Prayer

Our Before Lunch-time Prayer

 

Oh my God you love me,
You're with me night and day,
I want to love you always,
In all I do and say, 
I'll try to please you Father, 
Bless me through the day,

 

Amen

Bless us Oh God as we sit together,
Bless the food we eat today,
Bless the hands that made the food,
Bless us Oh God,
 

 

Amen

 

School Sorry Prayer

 

Our Home Time Prayer

 Oh my God, because you are so good

I am very sorry that I have sinned against you

and with your help

I will try not to sin again

 

Amen

 

Now the day is over,
We lift our hands and say,
Thank you Heavenly Father for today,
We're sorry for the bad  things,
But glad about the right, 
Keep us Heavenly Father, 
In your love tonight.

 

Amen
