Collective Worship at Navenby

At Navenby, each day begins with a collective worship; a time for us to be together, learn about our school values and sing as a whole school. There is time for us to reflect, listen to each other's ideas and make sure we have a positive start to the day. At the end of our worship, the Collective Worship Councillors choose a prayer to read aloud. If we agree with the prayer and want to make it our own, we can say 'Amen' at the end.

We also have class worship each week, where we can focus on the school value as a class, take part in a prayer activity or learn more about British Values using Picture News. Our Collective Worship Councillors lead a class worship in each year group across the term.

Class Worship at Navenby - Prayer

During our class worship on a Thursday, some of this time is dedicated to learning about prayer and the different ways we can pray.

Year 1 had a go using prayer beads; either thinking about their prayer quietly or sharing it with the group.

Cairn Service October 2025

In Term 1 we have a special collective worship service at our school cairn. The whole school gathers to welcome our new Reception children and any children or staff who have joined our school family since September. Each new starter is invited to decorate a pebble and add it to the cairn as a symbol of them joining our school and agreeing to abide by our values.

All parents are invited to share the service with us with a particularly warm invitation to our new Reception parents. Our Bishop's Visitor, Jenny and church visitors, Reverend Stuart and Reverend Susan, talk to us to help us understand further their roles in our school and the community.

This year's service will take place on Monday 13th October at 9.05am and everyone is welcome.

Last year, it was a beautifully sunny day and Mr Elliott talked to us about how thankful he was that we could all be together in our cairn to have some time to reflect and think about the year to come. At the end of the service we all shared our school prayer together.
