Worship Leaders
Each year, to engage and encourage the whole school with our Christian vision and values, we appoint a dedicated group of Worship Leaders, (2 from each class from years Reception to Year 6), who plan, lead & evaluate our Collective Worship. Each classroom has its own reflection area and the Worship Leaders take responsibility for encouraging and enabling classmates to have the space & resources to reflect, pray and be spiritual - the resources usually linking to our current theme for Collective Worship.
The Worship Leaders take part in Whole School Worship in various ways and lead Class Worship in their classrooms on Thursdays. Class teachers and teaching assistants support the Worship Leaders as appropriate. Worship Leaders are asked to either lead a Reflect and Respond worship linked to our current value (where children are not only given the opportunity to reflect more on this value but also to think about how they want to respond and take action) or lead a class discussion based on something that is currently happening in the world. Picture News is the fantastic resource that enables our students to explore current affairs in a safe space and at a appropriate level. Our Worship Leaders do a wonderful job of leading respectful discussions.
