Summer Term 

Collective Worship

Our value for the summer term is Friendship, inspired by the words of wisdom from 1 Thessalonians 5:11 — “Encourage one another and build each other up.” Throughout the term, we will explore what true friendship looks like in action. We will think about sticking together, reflecting on Proverbs 18:24 which reminds us that “there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” We will learn about encouraging one another, returning to 1 Thessalonians 5:11 and its call to lift each other up. We will explore supporting one another, using the story in Luke 5:17–39, where friends work together to help a man reach Jesus. We will think about making time for each other, inspired by Luke 10:38–42, where Jesus shows the importance of stopping and being present. And we will practise learning to listen, guided by Proverbs 17:17 which teaches that “a friend loves at all times.” This term we will also celebrate Pentecost, the moment when the Holy Spirit came to Jesus’ friends like a rushing wind and dancing flames, filling them with courage, joy, and the power to share God’s love with the world. It’s a story of friendship, teamwork, and the amazing things that can happen when people come together with kindness and purpose.

Spring Term

Collective Worship

Justice this term takes centre stage as our whole school explores what it really means to do what is right in a way children can understand. A child‑friendly way to think about justice is: treating everyone fairly, making good choices, and helping to put things right when something feels wrong. Our key scripture, “Learn to do right; seek justice.” (Isaiah 1.17), guides everything we do.

What we’ll be learning

• Making wise decisions — inspired by Isaiah 1.17, we’ll think about how our choices affect others and how we can choose what is fair.
• Seeing God’s love in action — through Matthew 20.1–16, children will explore how God shows fairness and generosity.
• Seeing the whole picture — using 2 Corinthians 8.21, we’ll learn why honesty and doing the right thing matters even when no one is watching.
• Goodness is stronger than evil — from John 18–19, we’ll reflect on how goodness, courage, and truth can overcome wrong.

Throughout the term, children will practise being fair, sharing kindly, and thinking carefully about what is right, helping them grow into thoughtful, compassionate members of our school community.

Spring Prayer Space

Our Spring Prayer Space provided a calm and reflective environment where children were able to pause, think and connect more deeply with themselves and the world around them. Throughout the space, a range of meaningful activities encouraged both mindfulness and personal reflection. Children explored mindfulness through Lego, carefully building while focusing on being present in the moment, while others chose to spend time in the tipi, enjoying quiet listening and stillness away from the busy classroom. Creative expression was also nurtured through mindful drawing, allowing children to reflect through art in a peaceful and thoughtful way. This dedicated space gave pupils the opportunity to slow down, reflect and engage in moments of quiet, supporting their spiritual development and wellbeing during the Spring Term.
