Southborough Church of England Primary School

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.
We always start our collective worship by lighting a candle
and saying these words:

Jesus the Light of the World is here.
Lord Jesus shine upon us.
This term our value is Perseverance and we begin our term by exploring this value and what it means to us, our school community and the world around us.
Our worship will be based on the Rochester of Diocese plans on the theme of 'The First Christians'.
We will also be exploring our school vision in detail, re-iterating our GIFT vision and exploring the Sermon on the Mount, from which our vision is taken.
Week 1 : | Value of the term: Perseverance |

This term, we are also using 'Picture News' in class worships to explore current affairs and reflect on their impact on our lives and those around us.
We will be continuing to share stories with the children in collective worship from the New Testament using our Big Bible and keep some quiet reflective time to help us pause and reflect every day on each weekly theme. We will also continue to sing our favourite songs and learn new ones with the rest of the school.

During our Singing worship sessions this term, and then throughout the week, we will be singing
Songs and hymns for Term 6

Week 2 | This Little Light of Mine |
Week 3 | Sing a Song in Unison |
Week 4 | One More Step |

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.
