Our Worship
Worship at St John's...
Collective worship is central to our school life. At St. John’s we come together as family and collectively pray, reflect, sing and celebrate.
At St John’s we appreciate the diversity of our school family. Some children and their families have other faiths and some have no faith at all. Our daily acts of worship provide both children and adults an opportunity to reflect and grow spiritually, regardless of faith. We respect and value each other’s differences.
Once a week, we celebrate children’s achievements with a child of the week and celebrate awards achieved outside of school. Every half term, we hold a special values worship. One child from each class is chosen for displaying the school values and receive their own St John’s values badge.
Once a term, the worship team lead a family service which is open to the whole school community.

Our School Prayer
Father, we thank you for the night
and for the precious morning light.
For rest and food and loving care
and all that makes the day so fair.

to be to others kind and good.
In all we do at work or play,
to grow more loving every day.
Amen
