At St Cuthbert's Junior School, daily collective worship is an integral and important part of school life. It is a time where we come together and share in God's love, reinforce our vision and values, interact with the community and celebrate our successes.
The contributions of staff, pupils, church clergy and other visitors are valued highly as well as the interactions of the children themselves. Our worship reflects our Christian beliefs and values. However, we are also committed to respecting other faiths and cultures, showing tolerance and understanding regardless of pupils' beliefs.
Children are encouraged to discuss and share their own beliefs and those of others in an atmosphere of tolerance, trust and compassion. Collective worship always includes a time of prayer and reflection. A range of prayers are used including the Lord's Prayer, and prayers written by the children and others.
They are introduced in an appropriate manner with a short time of quiet. The school is actively developing the children's confidence in reciting simple liturgy. At the beginning of whole school worship, a time of reflection and quiet is encouraged by the lighting of a candle. A cross is also displayed on the table.
