Collective Worship is a statutory requirement for all schools in England and Wales. However, at Holy Trinity CE Primary School, Collective Worship is so much more than this.  It is a time for our school family to come together, learn together, reflect together, a time for children, staff and visitors to be still, engage and if they feel called to, respond.  It is the heartbeat of our school and it plays a fundamental role in shaping pupils’ character, thinking and actions. 

Collective Worship at Holy Trinity strengthens and supports the distinctive Christian character of our school and reaffirms our core Christian values of Forgiveness, Perseverance and Respect.

Worship reflects the variety of traditions found in the Church of England as well as other Christian traditions, and recognises and follows the Church of England’s liturgical year. The daily act of worship is central to our ethos and is supported by all staff and governors, it is inclusive, invitational and inspiring.

Our school community takes part in Collective Worship on a daily basis as follows:

Children leading worship

At Holy Trinity children leading worship is a central part of our routine. We have Spiritual Leaders/Digital Leaders from Year 6 who lead us in prayer and set yearly goals to help live our vision of "Doing good and being happy'.  They are involved in our whole school events at Holy Trinity Church (Harvest, Christmas and Easter) and involved in planning, delivering, monitoring and evaluating collective worship.  In addition to this the children have the following roles:

Holy Trinity CofE School Prayer

This is our school,

Let peace and harmony dwell here.

Let the rooms be full of contentment.

Let love abide here.

Love of one another,

Love of life itself,

And love of God.

Let us remember,

That as many hands build a school,

So many hearts make a school.

Amen
