Collective Worship
Collective Worship is an integral part of school life at St Bede’s and is central to the Catholic tradition. Collective worship provides opportunities for our community to contemplate the mystery of God, reflect on spiritual and moral issues, experience a sense of belonging and grow in liturgical understanding.
Children are taught to participate fully in Collective Worship and are encouraged to plan and lead as appropriate to their age.
As well as regular, weekly Collective Worship, we hold celebrations in line with the church liturgical year including events during Holy Week, devotions to Mary during the months of October and May, special feast days, Advent prayer focus and Advent wreath blessings, to name but a few.
The timetable of Collective Worship in our school is as follows:
| Day | Collective Worship |
|---|---|
| Monday | Whole School assembly following Sunday's Gospel |
| Tuesday | Mark 10 Mission - Key Stages |
| Wednesday | Key stage Assemblies based on Catholic Social Teaching focusing on current issues, emotional wellbeing and dates of significance / RHE |
| Thursday | Key Stage assembly |
| Friday | Celebration Assembly |
