At St Philip's Church of England Primary School we aim to be distinctive in our Christian character by living out our school values daily. Collective Worship is a key part of our school day, setting the tone for the behaviour and ethos of our school family.
We have strong links with our local Vicar, Rector Gareth Robinson, and St Philip's Church which we use regularly for collective worship to mark key dates in the Christian calendar. St Philip's has 3 core Christian Values. They are; Love, Trust and Forgiveness.
At St Philip s, we believe it is important to develop core values by which to live and help to guide us both morally and spiritually. Through daily acts of worship and reflection we explore the meaning of these core values and consider how we can use them to help us in our daily lives.
Whilst these gifts are inclusive of human values, we try to anchor them into the Christian faith by relating them to the Bible through stories and readings. Use the drop down menus below to find out more:
