Collective Worship
Our Reflection Trees
Each class has a reflection tree to represent our school vision, 'From tiny seeds, grow mighty trees'. Our Trees have six ornaments, one for each half term - these represent our school values. Our trees are displayed in our classrooms.
As a Church of England School, we know how important it is to join together as a whole school for Collective Worship.
Our Collective Worship time, is seen as a special time. A time for us join together, staff and children, to reflect, think, question and learn. This could be through the bible and the teachings within the Christian faith, or through important events in our school community and the lives of our children.
All of our Collective Worships are inclusive, and ensure children and staff of any, or no faith feel part of the the time together. We invite children and staff to join in with the liturgy, hymns and prayers if they wish to.
More information about our Collective Worship can be found in our policy below.
Our Reflection Tokens
During collective worship we bring our class token to hang on the tree in the hall, to symbolise us coming together as one.

Our hope is for each other and ourselves, it spurs us on when we have a bad day and grows with every personal and shared success.
We have the support of each other and God to aspire to be the best version of ourselves. We are ambitious in our hopes and dreams, we reach for the stars.
We believe in ourselves and each other. The acorn, as a seed, is a symbol of growth and unlimited potential – how one acorn can grow into a massive oak and seed a whole forest. Our school vision: From Tiny Seeds Grow Mighty Trees
Love is the care and compassion we give to ourselves, our family, friends, community and the wider world.
We give thanks for all that we can give and all we have received. We know that gratitude can increase happiness for ourselves and others. A simple ‘thank you’ or a single flower can make someone’s day!
Our Reflection Areas
To allow opportunity for quiet independent reflection throughout the day we have a range of reflections areas accessible to pupils.
A chance to think about our values
A private talk with God
Where in the world do you like to go to wonder?

Our 'Tiny Seeds' School Song
Linked to our vision, we often sing our special school song- From tiny seeds grow mighty trees.
We wrote, sang and recorded this song with help from St Thomas' church.
