Daily acts of Collective Worship

Daily acts of Collective Worship take place in school. Each week the worship follows a planned Christian Value which teachers and visitors are encouraged to follow when appropriate. The themes are planned in advance. The structure of Collective Worship includes music, a story or talk, a reading from the Bible, a period of reflection, a song of praise, and a prayer (including The Lord’s Prayer).

The following principals guide our approach to Collective Worship at St Cuthbert’s C of E Primary School.

  • Collective Worship should be interactive and occasionally organised and delivered by the pupils
  • Collective Worship should have a sense of occasion.
  • Collective Worship should provide experiences within which pupils’ spiritual development may flourish.
  • Collective Worship should be educational and should contribute to the Religious Education of all pupils.
  • We should provide a varied pattern of worship to broaden pupils’ experience of its different forms.
  • Collective Worship should recognise that the school includes children from different religious and non-religious backgrounds.
