St Nicholas CE Primary School

'Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.' Proverbs 22:6

Worship

Worship is a central part of our vision – allowing everybody in the school family the opportunity to learn about and develop a relationship with God whilst on their personal journey with Jesus.

Our approach to collective worship allows us to grow, learn and love God more. The impact of high quality, carefully planned worship is evident across the school – in relationships, in attitudes and in responses to Worship.

Children clearly value this time during the day witnessed through their behaviour and attitudes during acts of worship – whether in class, in whole school worship or in church.

Our children have a sound understanding of the Bible teachings of Jesus and of how Christian values can impact your life in a positive way. Worship is enhanced and encouraged our church community. 

The children themselves have been inspired by worship and demonstrate their own faith in their caring actions to others – raising money for the homeless and supporting a range of other local, national and international charities. The impact of collective worship can be seen on a daily basis.
