Collective Worship
a
Worship is an integral part of school life at St Thomas More and is central to the Catholic tradition. Collective worship provides opportunities for our community to contemplate the mystery of God, reflect on spiritual and moral issues, experience a sense of belonging and grow in liturgical understanding.
The timetable of Collective Worship in our school is as follows:-
|
|
Whole School Collective Worship - Sunday's Gospel |
| Tuesday | Key stage 2 Collective Worship - Catholic Social Teaching focusing on current issues, emotional wellbeing, dates of significance, British Values, United Nations and Protected Characteristics |
| Wednesday | Key stage 1 & F2 Collective Worship - Catholic Social Teaching focusing on current issues, emotional wellbeing, dates of significance, British Values, United Nations and Protected Characteristics |
|
Thursday

Celebration Assembly |
As well as regular, weekly Collective Worship, we hold celebrations in line with the church liturgical year including , Advent and Lent services, Christingle, Advent Wreaths blessing, Remembrance and Holy Week services.
Children are taught to participate fully in collective worship and are encouraged to plan and lead as appropriate to their age.
This is an integral part of our RE curriculum.
