Collective Worship Council

Our Collective Worship Council was set up by the Members of Pupil Parliament. The Collective Worship Council aims to help plan, lead and improve Collective Worship across the whole school. The Worship will meet every half term, both as a committee and at times, with the Members of Pupil Parliament. 

Each half term the Worship Council will meet together to do some of the following things: 

  • Reflect upon worship and how it can be even better.
  • Help plan/deliver collective worship sessions with Mrs Wright and Reverand Rob and Tony.
  • Help monitor and evaluate the different worship sessions and the school environment.
  • Learn more about worship e.g. why worship is important and the different ways to worship.
  • Contribute ideas for prayers.

Some of our aims for the coming year are for us to:

  • Develop pupil participation in collective worship. We want children to feel as if they are part of the worship.
  • Lead and evaluate worship.
  • Help ensure collective worship is diverse.
  • Explore what is meant by spirituality.
  • Help set up and maintain the prayer box.

These are just a few of the aims drafted by Members of Pupil Parliament, Mrs Wright and Mrs Whitaker.  At the beginning of Autumn 2, the MP's will observe a collective worship and trial the evaluation form. Then, they will be busy helping recruiting our Collective Worship Council. 

Our Collective Worship Committee

The members of Pupil Parliament have selected our Riddlesden St Mary's Collective Worship Committee. Their main aims this year are to raise the profile of Class Worships, with a wider range of pupils leading and planning worship. The Worship Committee also want to ensure pupils across school revisit the school’s vision  statement in everything that they do.

The following  are the members of the Collective Worship Committee:

Sanabil, Ariana, Sophia, Saman, Aleena, Jorgie, Afsa, Sarina, Adama and Hafsa.

 

 

Our Easter Service

 Along with Reverand Tony, we led the Easter service at Riddlesden St Mary's Church. We told the Easter story and explained the message behind Jesus' death and resurrection. Saman explains, "When Jesus died on the cross, it showed how much he loved everyone, even those who hurt him.  He wanted show his love for everyone and to help them be forgiven so they could have a fresh start."
