Collective Worship
Worship is an important part of the school day. Everyday the school join together to take part in an inclusive act of worship which is rooted in the teachings of the Bible. On Wednesday we are visited by Rev Vicky from St Laurence Church who leads our act of worship. Once a term every class lead an act of worship and parents are invited. You can find the dates for these on our newsletter.
Below you can find a list of the worship themes for Spring and Summer 2025:
