Collective Worship

Children at St Peter's take part in a daily act of collective worship. As a Church of England school, this is a special time for our school community to celebrate, reflect and enjoy being together. Our collective worship is always: 

• Inclusive 
• Invitational 
• Inspiring 

Our Collective Worship theme this term is Living Well Together:

What do our children say about Collective Worship?

Year 1/ 2:

• Assemblies are a time to show kindness and learn about kindness
• We hear stories from the Bible – we know lots of stories from the Bible- some are called parables and Jesus told them to people to help them understand.
• We always have a prayer and its important
• We don’t have to join in with prayer, but I do – sometimes I pray when I’m outside too – I like praying outside.
• Assembly is a time for God and to think about God
• Assembly is a time to show love and to say hello to each other

Year 3/ 4:

• We learn about the parables and the bible
• I call it ‘wake up and meet time’
• Its for prayers. Prayers are good because we get to know people’s different views about praying.
• Its like a newspaper- that is the story of what’s happening in the world. Assembly helps to be a newspaper about the world and our school- it helps us to learn about things that are happening and think about them.
• They give us time to stop and think. I’d miss not stopping and thinking.

Year 5/ 6:

• It’s to meet together, to learn about Christianity and Jesus
• We do it because we are a church school
• Today’s worship was about the Widow in the temple giving all her money
• I learned a lot from that story – she gave everything she had!
