Prayer and Worship
As a Catholic school, prayer and worship lie at the heart of our daily life and routines. Our daily worship and liturgies provide an opportunity for children to develop socially, morally and spiritually. Our children engage in a range of worship forms including celebration, singing, formal, informal and shared. Our children are familiar with the language, silence and stillness of worship. Prayer and worship are shared experiences which are led by staff and children to a high quality.
