• Collective Worship Training

  Tue 26 Sep 2023

  This week, our House Captains, Worship Group and Pupil Council took part in a national webinar led by Picture News on how to plan and deliver collective worship. They started off by reflecting on why children should lead worship and discussed how it gives them a greater sense of responsibility, develops confidence and leadership skills too. One of the most important things they learnt about was how to start with an interesting news story and turn this into an interesting assembly that will engage children from all ages. They are now looking forward to leading more house and whole school collective worship sessions about national and global news stories.
