Collective Worship
In our school, our Christian vision shapes all that we do: ‘Let all that you done be done in love’. The route to our vision is guided by our Christian value of Love: love of our ourselves, love of learning and love of the local and worldwide community.
At Bournebrook C of E School and Nursery, worship is central to the life of school and is one of the main platforms for exploring the school’s vision and Christian values. It is planned and of high quality so that the whole school community is engaged on a journey of discovery, exploring the teachings of Jesus and the Bible.
At Bournebrook C of E School and Nursery, collective worship aims to be inspirational, invitational and inclusive and allows all to join in if they wish to do so.
Worship Themes
The school’s vision and values are central to collective worship as the beating heart of the school. The themes of our worship are planned around our vision and our Christian values. Links are made with other faiths through common stories or practices. Some stories from the Bible are shared by other faiths too.
Children enjoy the more intimate setting of their classrooms where age-appropriate conversations and reflections are nurtured. A class worship reflection book is completed. Themes for classroom worship are linked to Christian values for life and may include respect, kindness, generosity and resilience.
Leading Worship
At Bournebrook, different adults and children lead worship. Whole school worship is led by the headteacher, class teachers lead class worships. Worship monitors select children to reflect and evaluate worship daily.
Celebration Assembly
On Friday afternoon, we celebrate the successes from the week before. Year 6 pupils lead the celebration. We present Gold Book awards to children who have been witnessed showing one of our learning values.
Church-led Collective Worship
At special times of the year, we enjoy going to our church, St Mary and All Saints Church, for Collective Worship.
Reverend Steve delivers worship on a regular basis, he also joins us at lunch time to offer well being support to the adults in school
Where does worship take place?
Worship often takes place in our school hall where we can see different quotes to support the termly theme.
We are fortunate to have other places around school where we can
worship and reflect. These include classrooms where we have our
own Reflection Areas, and The Peace Garden.
