Wheatley CE Primary School and Acorns Nursery
Together we Thrive
Collective Worship
Introduction
At Wheatley Primary there is a daily act of collective worship which anchors our school community and provides an important opportunity for spiritual and moral development for pupils and staff. Across the week this can be whole school, key stage or class based. We draw on a range of resources to plan worship which is invitational, inclusive and inspiring. Our Y6 Junior Worship Leaders are involved in planning and delivering both worship and the whole school prayer space.
Reverend Nigel leads Collective Worship for both KS1 and KS2 weekly and we visit St. Mary's Church for Harvest and Easter services as well as other times.
Here are some links to find out more about St Mary's in the village:
Each term we explore one of our values through Bible stories and other key figures from today’s world and the past. We think about what it means to us and how it influences the way we think, feel and behave.
| Term 1 | Positive |
| Term 2 | Loving |
| Term 3 | Resilient |
| Term 4 | Happy |
| Term 5 | Inspiring |
| Term 6 | Confident |
This term we are focusing on being HAPPY
- We respect each other and feel listened to.
- We enjoy our learning adventures.
A happy heart makes the face cheerful.
Proverbs 15:13
Show proper respect to everyone.
1 Peter 2:17
Last year our Junior Worships leaders shared lots of inspirational words to help you tackle challenges and be the best you can be. We hope you enjoyed finding them and thinking about how they applied to your life.
As with other aspects of school life we review and evaluate collective worship to identify strengths and areas for improvement. This includes an annual survey for pupils and staff.
