Collective Worship

True worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth. John 4:22

Here at Wharton CE Primary School we adopt 12 Christian values over a 2-year rolling plan.

• Generosity
• Compassion
• Courage
• Forgiveness
• Friendship
• Respect
• Thankfulness
• Trust
• Perseverance
• Justice
• Service
• Truthfulness

Each half-term to focus on a different Christian value in class and through our clergy visits each week. Every Christian value is launched on the first Friday of each half-term, across the whole school. Our Christian values are displayed around the building different year groups take it in turns to create the Christian value displays around the building.

We have a close bond with our local Church (ChristChurch, Wharton). Robin Barfield (Associate Minister for children and families) and Rhian Githagia (Trainee Youth Minister) visit our children weekly to lead a church worship. Key stage 2 children have the opportunity for additional reflection with the worship leader after our weekly worship. This routine continued online throughout lockdown allowing children across the school to share in the same worship and reflection weekly.

 Our Worship Workers promote the Christian values around our school and help to lead our Collective Worship in the hall during whole school worship. They have been working alongside the Ethos group, RE lead, local church and Headteacher to update our rewards system and link it to the current Christian values of our school.
