Worship & Church Links
St Mary’s CE First Academy celebrates its foundation through collective worship that is distinctly Christian but inspires and includes the whole community. Collective Worship is a daily event at St Mary’s.
As a church school, we believe that it is important for the school community to gather together, both to celebrate pupil achievements and provide the opportunity to take part in acts of class worship. During this time pupils are able to reflect upon, discuss and explore the themes and values chosen. This is an opportunity to explore the Christian faith together.
Worship is led regularly in school by Rev Alex Keen, Anne Wright of St Mary’s Church, pupils and our staff. The school gives high priority to the spiritual development of all pupils.
There are strong links with St Mary’s Church and all the children visit termly for special services at Harvest, Remembrance, Christmas, Easter and our end of year thanksgiving service. A variety of other visits during the year allow pupils to explore the Church and faith.
Our harvest offering each year supports the local food bank. Parents and other visitors are welcomed to these services.
Parents have the right to withdraw their child from taking parts in acts of Worship. However, the Interim Assistant Principal must be informed prior to any parent exercising this right.
