Collective Worship

Liturgical prayer and prayer life is at the centre of each day, at St. Clare’s..

Each week, we have a whole school liturgical prayer, with our headteacher, Mrs Eddies. Later in the week, we have Prayer/ Liturgical Prayer time within our key stages, whereby different teachers and classes take turns to minister. Each class shares moments of prayer, each week; ministered by a group of children.

Monday: Whole School Collective worship

Tuesday: Class Collective worship

Wednesday: KS1/EYFS Collective worship

Thursday: KS2 Collective worship

Friday: Class

We also have a bright and vibrant prayer life at St. Clare’s using traditional and contemporary ways to pray.

Please also see our school prayers section.

The National Schools Singing programme (NSSP) also further enhances our liturgical music across the school and we have an excited and committed choir, led by Mrs Stewart our music lead. Mr Maxson, who is the director of music at St Mary’s cathedral, teaches our KS2 children each week.

Each class collects their prayer journey in a special book…

Each child also has an individual Prayer Journal, to spend time with God, sharing their own precious moments in his presence…

Our link governor for liturgical prayer is Mrs Price, who comes into school regularly to observe and join in. We enjoy praying with other school governors too.
