The Church of England vision for education is educating our children for ‘life in all its fullness’.  At St John’s Church Of England Primary School our Christian values are based on the teachings of Jesus Christ; Love, Peace, Wisdom, Hope, Friendship and Honesty.  These values are embedded in the daily life of the school and have a significant impact on the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all members of the school community.

We believe a daily act of worship provides an opportunity for children to create and participate in shared experiences of celebration, praise and thanksgiving to God.

We aim to enable pupils to reflect on our core Christian values and other values and beliefs to: 

• Encourage children’s natural sense of awe and wonder of God’s creation

• Develop the qualities of curiosity, celebration and gratitude which form the foundation of worship

• To develop a sense of community

• Explore and reflect on the meaning and purpose of important life issues and give an opportunity to respond to questions relating to life and beliefs

• Develop a sense of meaning, value and purpose

• Celebrate difference and diversities

• Explore a variety of forms of worship

• Encourage participation and response

• Encourage the development of spiritual and moral awareness

• Provide aspirations for our children

Acts of worship are led by SLT, local clergy, staff, pupils and guest speakers.
