Collective Worship

At St Cleopas, Collective Worship is a valued part of daily life. It offers a calm and reflective space where our classes and whole community can come together to pause, think, and be inspired. 

Through stories, music, prayer, and moments of stillness, we explore themes such as kindness, respect, gratitude, and hope, alongside our dedicated school and MAT values. These gatherings encourage pupils to reflect on their own beliefs and values, while also learning about and respecting the beliefs of others. 

Our approach is inclusive and welcoming — whether pupils have a faith background or not, everyone is invited to take part in a way that feels comfortable for them. We offer both adult led and child led collective worship throughout the school. Parents are invited into our classes to take part in our ‘stay and pray’ sessions throughout the year and are regularly informed about our Christian values. 

Collective Worship helps us to: 

• Foster a sense of belonging and unity. 

• Celebrate achievements and special occasions. 

• Encourage moral and spiritual growth. 

• Promote respect, empathy, and understanding. 

By sharing these moments together, we can strengthen and flourish in our school community and nurture the values that guide us in learning and in life.
