The 4 elements of our Collective Worship are Gathering, Engaging, Responding and Sending.

Children regularly participate in the planning and leading/delivering of Collective Worship; choosing/writing prayers, selecting hymns, discussing the theme and how it relates to their own experiences and Christian values.

Children are involved in the evaluation of Collective Worship; responding by sharing their views and discussing what it meant to them.

Below are some examples of how the children have had an input into where to gather and some responses when evaluating Collective Worship. Please click on the links above (in the Collective Worship table) to see how children have had an input and responses from other children during the Collective Worship.
