Collective Worship

At Embsay C of E Primary School, we engage in an act of Collective Worship every day.  This is an opportunity for us all to come together as a family, developing a sense of community whether from a Christian faith background, another faith background, or no faith background at all.  It is an essential part of our vision of 'Life in all its fullness' (John 10:10).

Collective worship gives pupils and school staff the opportunity to:

  • Engage in an act of community.
  • Express praise and thanksgiving to God.
  • Be still and reflect.
  • Explore the big questions of life and respond to national events.
  • Foster respect and deepen spiritual awareness.
  • Reflect on the character of God and on the teachings of Christ.
  • Affirm Christian values and attitudes.
  • Share each other’s joys and challenges.
  • Celebrate special times in the Christian calendar.
