Collective Worship at St George's

Collective Worship is a central part of life at our school and all children and staff engage fully with it. It is always distinctively Christian, reflecting our vision and allowing us to explore our Christian values and consider ways we can put them into action in our daily lives. We use Windows, Mirrors and Doors to ensure our exploration includes Looking out, Looking in and Looking ahead. We hope that our worship helps us to learn something new, to reflect on our own feelings and behaviours and to think about how we might behave or do things differently in the future. Worship also gives us a chance to feel closer to God and to be able to talk to him through prayer and song.

Our value this half term is SERVICE

Christians believe that through his person, ministry and relationship with God, Jesus showed what it was to be called the ‘Servant King’. Christians believe that in serving others they are serving God and that God wants us all to use our talents and abilities to serve each other.

Through Collective Worship and exploring Service we will be thinking about:

• How are children encouraged to serve one another?
• How are acts of Service celebrated in school?
• Are school members active in service in the wider community?
• Which areas of the curriculum enable the children to consider the importance of Service?
• Are children aware of the adults who offer their service in the community and how they do this?
• How do children show their appreciation and gratitude to those who serve them?
