Collective Worship
Collective Worship is a statutory requirement for all schools in England and Wales. At Bickleigh Down C of E Primary School, Collective Worship is so much more than this. It is a time where the school family meets together, learns together, reflects together, a time within which children and staff are given a time to be still, to engage and if they feel called, respond.

What have we been learning about in Collective Worship?
9th September 2022
Today, Father Simon led a special Collective Worship to remember Her Majesty The Queen. As a school, we reflected on her life, learnt more about her strong Christian faith and celebrated the wonderful things that she has done. Our Year 6 Collective Worship Leaders wrote a prayer for our time of reflection.
Father God,
Thank you for Her Majesty The Queen and for her service to us, her people. Thank you for her faith in you. She has been a blessing to us from you. We pray for the Royal Family as they grieve for the Queen. We thank you for His Royal Highness King Charles III and we pray that you will be with him in the days ahead.
Amen
Autumn Term 2022
In Collective Worship this term we will be focusing on our School Vision which is based on Hebrews 10:24 'and let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds'. The children will be thinking about what this means for them in and outside of our school community and finding out about how this features in the Bible. Later in the term, we will be finding out about our Christian Value of 'Love' and how Christians today live this out in their local, national and global communities. We will also be reflecting on how we as a school community can show love to others and spur them on towards good deeds.
