Time to Think Time to Pray

The Collective Worship Team led a beautiful collective worship centred on the theme of Hope, inspired by a rhyming Bible story about the resurrection. Their message highlighted how the Easter story reminds us that God can change situations in extraordinary ways; like raising Jesus from the dead.

As part of the worship, the team introduced a thoughtful new initiative: a Prayer and Reflective Station. For each of our school values, they will create a quiet space where children can go to pray or simply pause and reflect.

This time, if a child chose to pray or reflect, they held a ribbon while thinking about something they were hoping would change. Then, they tied the ribbon somewhere special as a visual reminder of their hopes and prayers. The Collective Worship Team chose to tie their ribbons to a cross, symbolising the story of resurrection and new beginnings.

The response from pupils has been overwhelmingly positive, and the space has quickly become a cherished part of our school environment. We’re excited to see what special reflective space the team will create next as we explore our next school value.
