Collective Worship

 

We lead collective worship at over 20 schools, some weekly and some monthly. We cover a wide range of topics, including values, festivals and responding to current affairs event where appropriate. We use storytelling, props, children volunteers and challenges to engage the children in what the Bible teaches and the difference it can make to them.

​

We also lead Collective Worship online to many schools at the same time in "Festival Worship". This provides a unique opportunity for schools to "meet" together and share in the same message at the same time.

 

Recent topics include:

 

  • Challenges

  • Everyone is special

  • God is with us

  • Turn enemies into friends

  • We look after each other

  • Have time for others 

Lessons

 

As qualified teachers, we are able to plan and teach lessons to a high standard. We are frequently asked by staff for advice in planning their curriculum and have been used in formal staff training. We currently teach RE, PE, PSHE and Values. Recent units of work have included:

 

  • Creation

  • Christian beliefs and lifestyle

  • Bible Beasties

  • Economic wellbeing

  • The Environment

  • Hope and Trust

  • Peace

Clubs

 

We offer extra-curricular clubs that are a combination of games, songs and an opportunity to learn Bible stories in an interactive and creative way.

 

Sports and life skills clubs are also offered.
