Collective Worship
At St Peter's, we highly value our daily Collective Worship. It is led by a range of staff, pupils and visitors. It is guided by the Church of England liturgical calendar and also the six themes of our chosen PSHCE programme: Jigsaw. Click here to see the Collective Worship policy.

Monitoring and Evaluation of Collective Worship happens in a range of ways: Pupil voice; staff reflections; governor monitoring; ODBE advisor support; meetings with clergy
'The theme was absolutely clear in both settings and the messages well received by the children, all of whom are at ease but respectful in worship time. Responses were very good, especially when there was plenty of interactivity. Reflection opportunities could sometimes be extended.' (Governor monitoring, 2025)
