Collective worship gives pupils and school staff the opportunity to:
- Engage in an act of community
- Express praise and thanksgiving to God
- Be still and reflect in a world which is fast past and ever-changing
- Explore the ‘Big questions’ of life and respond to national events
- Foster respect and deepen spiritual awareness
- Reflect on the character of God and on the teachings of Christ
- Affirm our Christian values and attitudes
- Share and show compassion for each other’s successes and challenges
- Celebrate special times in the world religions calendar
