Collective Worship

Collective Worship at St Edmund’s C of E Primary School

Collective worship happens every day and is a time where we meet together to learn and reflect. Over the course of each half term we have a different theme (Christian Values) and enable children and staff to explore and celebrate the differences and diversity found in the variety of forms of worship in the Anglican Christian tradition.

We are seeking to deepen and widen the experience of those of ‘faith’ and encourage those of ‘no faith’ so that they begin to feel for themselves something of what it means to worship.

We use celebration, silence, stilling, reflection, contemplation, prayer, song, symbols and imagery as vehicles for worship and spiritual growth;

We are developing a sense of community within the school, the locality, (e.g. local church) and foster the sense of being part of a wider community though celebration.
