At Bolton-le-Sands Church of England Primary School, Collective Worship is the heart of our school life. It is a time for us to gather as a school family to connect with God, reflect on our Christian values, and grow together in faith, love, and wisdom. Rooted in our mission statement, “With God at the centre, we reach out to support each other in learning, growth, and community,” our worship provides a nurturing space for everyone to feel inspired and valued.
What Makes Our Worship Special?
We come together every day for worship, creating a strong sense of belonging and unity. Each session is carefully planned to reflect our Christian ethos, celebrating the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Monday: Whole School Worship, where we unite as one family and open our weekly theme.
Tuesday: House and Key Stage Worship, often led by our House Captains, fostering leadership and creativity.
Wednesday & Thursday: Whole School Worship, with opportunities for reflection and shared learning.
Friday: Celebration Worship, where we honour the unique talents and gifts that God has given us, showcasing how these shine in our school and beyond.
Each half term, we explore a central Christian value, bringing it to life through stories, reflections, and practical actions. This year, our values include:
Autumn Term
CREATIVITY and TRUST
Spring Term
LOVE and HUMILITY
Summer Term
FAITH and PERSEVERANCE
Our worship is enriched by Bible stories, key events in the Christian calendar, and themes from resources like Roots and Fruits and Values for Life. We also hold termly Eucharist celebrations and worship at Holy Trinity Church, deepening our connection to our faith and community.
We believe worship is most meaningful when everyone is involved. Pupils take an active role in planning and leading worship, writing prayers, and sharing their reflections. This nurtures confidence, creativity, and a deeper understanding of their faith.
Our worship is inclusive, offering all children the chance to explore Christian beliefs in a safe and welcoming environment. We respect the rights of parents to withdraw their children from Collective Worship while ensuring every aspect of our school reflects our Christian character.
