"I like it when Katy comes in. She helps us learn about the Bible so then we can be more like Jesus." Mathilda

"Learning about Jesus helps us to get rid of our sins - Jesus helps us and he teaches me to be nice." Luna

"I really like it when grown ups come to worship on Friday and they sing with us." Catherine

We have Spiritual Leaders in all year groups who help to lead Collective Worship.

These children meet weekly. They help throughout worship in different ways such as setting up, leading in prayer, selecting music or leading whole school worship. They also lead worship outside.
