Worship Time
Worship at Leigh St. John's C of E Primary School
Our school has a simple mission to help all pupils to be ‘decent human beings’. This mission is lived out by staff and pupils alike. Daily worship is central to this mission, and leaders ensure that acts of worship are inspirational and transformational, celebrating differences and including everyone.
"The Lord has told you what is good.
He has told you what he wants from you:
Do what is right to other people.
Love being kind to others.
And live humbly, trusting your God."
Micah 6:8

od's Big Plan
God's plan is a key feature within daily acts of worship; it is an essential guide for reflecting on the big stories and concepts within the Bible.
Jesus and Me (JAM) Squad
We seek to involve pupils in the planning, resourcing and evaluation of worship, and we do this effectively through our JAM Squad. Members of the JAM Squad are assigned specific roles and responsibilities; they contribute to different aspects during the course of the year. For example, some pupils are responsible for creating a beautiful focal point at the front of the hall; others are responsible for writing prayers that match the theme of our worship. Some pupils use video to evaluate acts of worship; others create a weekly sign to communicate the week's theme.

Above is an example of our beautiful focal point during the season of Advent. These JAM Squad members were responsible for ensuring this was set up in time for morning worship.
We are here to 'celebrate together'.
Above is an example of how daily acts of worship are delivered. Multimedia content is used to engage the children as well as to make it accessible to all.
"The Lord is here. His Spirit is with us."
These words above are spoken by the children at the start of each act of worship.
"Everyone is welcome here."
The above is one of our school mantras which reinforces our inclusivity for everyone.
