Collective Worship is a special part of every day for children and adults to reflect upon the Worship Theme of the half term, supporting them in developing their spirituality. Whether it is in the hall, in the classroom or outside, Collective Worship is an inspiring and meaningful time. For further information, please do read the Collective Worship policy linked at the top of this page.

Collective Worship is an opportunity to come together as the Freemantle Family, encounter faith by learning about God and to express the Academy’s vision of ‘Everyone is Welcome’ and our values of ‘Creativity, Fellowship and Courage.’ We use the following fourfold structure to ensure we do this:

Each half term we engage with our Worship Theme, which is part of our two year rolling cycle of themes. These themes always link with our school’s Values of ‘Creativity, Fellowship and Courage.’

Below are the two year rolling Worship Themes:

The Worship Themes are further explored and developed in class. To support this, each class has a reflective and interactive worship and prayer table which is accessible to all.

As well as having various members of staff leading Collective Worship, the local vicar, Reverend Karen Linington, also comes and leads Collective Worship once every half term. This is a wonderful time to celebrate the special link our school has with Christ Church Freemantle (please visit the link to the church above).

Each week, we have Thoughtful Thursday which provides children with the opportunity to quietly reflect on the week’s Collective Worship and  glean how they will be grow from what they have heard.

We share the half termly Worship Themes with our families via our PIB (Parent Information Bulletin) so that everyone in our school community can reflect and discuss this theme if they wish.
