At Southborough Church of England Primary School our vision and values weave through our

Collective Worship provision throughout the year. 

Each term we will explore one of our six values and how they connect with our collective worship themes. 

We will also reflect on what we can do to act as beacons of light at school, as part of our community and in response to what is happening in the world.

and saying these words:

We will also be continuing to use the current affairs Worship resource 'Picture News'.

Music we will be using this term in Collective Worship

During our Singing worship sessions this term, and then throughout the week, we will be singing

Songs and hymns for Term 1

We also begin and end each worship with a piece of music to encourage a moment of Spiritual reflection, selected by the head of Faith and Flourishing to complement our worship themes and school vision.
