At Furzeham Primary School, we believe that Collective Worship plays an important role in the life of our school because it;
promotes a sense of ‘awe and wonder’
provides an opportunity to worship God
helps children experience and understand the nature and language of worship
encourages the adults and children in our school, to respect themselves and to respect others, their cultures, their differences and their opinions.
encourages them to reflect, think deeply and consider and express the emotions and ideas that relate to the their own beliefs and those of others
celebrates all aspects of school life, sharing the gifts and talents of our children
supports our whole school curriculum especially Personal and Social Education and helps children to make connections between Collective Worship/Re and other lessons
develops in our children a sense of care and tolerance and the courage to take responsibility for their own actions
provides an opportunity for stillness and reflection in what is often a very busy, active day
