Collective Worship
Collective worship at Newbold Church School is at the heart of our school, signalling the life, energy and Christian spirit of the school.
Worship is also a ‘time to breathe’; a time when all can come together to find a space, silence and stillness to reflect upon our own spirituality, values and place in the world. Collective worship is a significant, valued and sacred time in the life of Newbold Church School.
Our worship is led by many different groups of people or individuals. Children help to lead acts of weekly worship.
Collective worship gives the whole school community the opportunity to:

Affirm Christian values and attitudes.
Celebrate special times in the Christian calendar.
Experience and respond to Anglican traditions and practices.
Explore the big questions of life and respond to national events.
Foster respect and deepen spiritual awareness.
Be still and reflect.
