Prayer and Collective Worship

Prayer and collective worship are central to life at St John Fisher Catholic Primary School. They provide opportunities for children, staff and the wider school community to come together in faith, reflection, celebration and spiritual growth.

As a Catholic school, prayer and worship are rooted in the teachings of Christ and guided by our mission:

“We stand united in faith with the courage to build a loving world of truth, justice, peace and wisdom.”

We believe worship should be meaningful, inclusive and inspiring, helping children develop a deeper relationship with God and a stronger understanding of faith in everyday life.

Our Approach to Prayer and Collective Worship

Prayer and collective worship at St John Fisher aim to:

• Develop children’s relationship with God
• Strengthen understanding of Catholic faith and Gospel values
• Encourage reflection, gratitude and compassion
• Celebrate important liturgical seasons and feast days
• Build a sense of belonging and community
• Encourage children to lead and participate in worship

Children experience a variety of prayer opportunities including:

• Whole school worship
• Class prayer and liturgy
• Child-led prayer experiences
• Celebration of Mass
• Reflection linked to scripture and Gospel values
• Prayer during key liturgical seasons

We encourage pupils to become active participants in planning and leading worship so they grow in confidence and spiritual understanding.
