Collective Worship
Collective worship is an integral part of our school life. Collective worship is presented in a relevant and purposeful way to our children and school community to ensure it supports their daily lives. We endeavour to ensure our children have a variety of approaches which engage and excite them and develops their spiritual growth. Our worships are invitational and inclusive and enable staff and children from other faiths or do not hold a religious belief are able to participate.
Worship embodies our school Christian Vision and ensures that all have the opportunity to flourish. During our daily worship we follow the Canterbury Diocese Collective Worship plans.
Monday - Whole school worship led by Reverend Barry or Mrs Clover (takes place in church on alternate weeks)
Tuesday - Whole school worship led by Headteacher
Wednesday - Whole school worship led by teacher
Thursday - Class led worship / singing worship alternate weeks
Friday - Celebration worship
We enjoy close links with Lympne Church and we also make links with other local churches such as South Kent Community Church and The Salvation Army.
Collective worship in our school is a highly valued and set apart time each day. As a church school, our collective worship is based on the Bible and the life and teaching of Jesus. We encourage children to become actively involved with leading collective worship, through songs, music, prayer and drama.
We enable children to deepen their spiritual life by giving them time to reflect and respond to the message they have heard. We send them back into the school and wider community with the expectation that they will seek to apply what they have learned.
