Collective Worship
Collective worship is an important part of daily life at Boutcher, providing time for reflection, prayer, and connection with God and each other. It is a key opportunity for the whole school community to come together in faith and shared learning. During collective worship, children are introduced to Christian values and traditions, Bible stories, and the teachings of Jesus, which help them to grow spiritually and morally.
Each time of collective worship fosters a sense of belonging and unity, reinforcing the importance of our three school values. Collective worship invites all members of the Boutcher family to reflect on their own lives, giving us the space to consider how they can live out their faith and serve others. We create an inclusive environment where all faith is respected and nurtured, and where children are encouraged to build a strong spiritual foundation for their future.
Service Dates – Autumn Term 2026
This year, our whole school will be exploring the theme of Belonging, helping children to understand how important it is to feel valued, included and connected to their school, family and wider community. Through Old Testament stories and heroes, we will explore what belonging means and discover how people in the Bible found their place, overcame challenges and played an important part in God’s story.
We warmly welcome parents/ carers and other family members to join us in our worship.
