‘Together, We Believe, Anything is Possible’

At Flookburgh CE Primary School, Collective Worship aims to be inspirational, invitational and inclusive and will lead people (children and adults alike) to a time and place where they can witness worship and join in, if they wish.

Through collective worship, all members of our school are offered a space and a place to hear a telling of the Christian story. They will have a chance to develop their understanding of worship through being invited to participate in or observe prayer, reading and reflection on the Bible, liturgy, and singing.

There will be opportunities to reflect on the beauty, joy and pain of the world will. Everyone will be given time to consider their responsibilities to others and to grow in love and service. Time will be given for celebration, both for the accomplishments of school members and to mark the seasonal festivals of the Christian calendar. We will all be offered time to be able to contemplate and develop spiritually.

We meet together, as a whole school, every day at 3:00pm to share in Collective Worship. This means that the last element of each day is a communal time, to think about biblical examples and ideas, reflect on how we have enacted the Roots to Success and how we might adjust what we do, say and think in light of this in the following day. It is a positive pause before we leave to re-engage with ours lives outside of school.

Collective Worship is led by the headteacher on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays; and by our local vicar on a Tuesday; Wednesdays are led by a teacher and typically focus on sung elements of worship. Our ‘WOW team (Weekly Organisers of Worship) help prepare the hall to enable a reflective start and end to our worship sessions.

Parents are welcome to join any session, however, on Fridays we start at 2:45pm and include the celebration of children’s achievements, as role models to the Roots of Success, and how their unique talents are being developed outside of school.
