Collective Worship at Loxley C of E Community Primary School

At our school, Collective Worship is central to everything we do. It helps us prepare for the day, offering a time for community, quiet reflection, and prayer.

Our daily worship takes place during our morning assemblies:

• Monday       09:00 - Whole school worship led by Mr Dale to focused around the current school value.
• Tuesday       09:00 - Class Worship led by the Collective Worship Team.
• Wednesday 09:00 - Singing Worship led by Mrs Geldard and Mrs Ballentine
• Thursday     09:00 - Global Worship led by Mr Dale worship around current affairs to spark children’s interest in the world around them.
• Friday          09:00 – Whole school celebration assembly - parents are invited to join in the celebrations to share the children’s achievements.

Acts of worship are thoughtfully planned around Christian Festivals, providing an opportunity for children to learn about and embrace our Christian values in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment. Each act of worship includes music, song, prayer, and a quiet moment for reflection.

Reverend Linda visits the school every three weeks for to deliver Collective Worship to the whole school.

Reward Systems

Our children are encouraged to demonstrate and develop our core Christian values, all the time, in all they do.  We have a reward system, called 'Catch Me...', where we recognise the demonstration or development of any of these core values in our children by stamping their 'Catch Me' card.  When they receive a full card, the child receives a certificate and leaf to add to our 'Tree of Values'. There are 4 different leaves the children, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.  The children love to add their leaves as part of our celebration assembly on a Friday.

Our Collective Worship Team

Children from Year 2 to 6 have the opportunity to apply for a place in Loxley Worship Team. Their responsibility include organising seating, managing the music, and leading prayers. During their regular meetings with Mr. Dale, they review and assess collective worship to ensure it remains inclusive, inspirational, and welcoming. 

As part of their roles, the children also lead the 'Global Worship' sessions with their classes on Tuesdays, offering a chance to reflect on the messages shared in the previous weeks worship.
