Collective Worship
Each half term our collective worship is linked to one of our school values which underpin our school vision. Collective worship is led by our staff, children and visitors and takes place daily in our school hall. We use music, images, invitational prayer and reflection time to deepen the children's understanding of the world around them and thier own spirituality.
We also regularly visit our local church, Holy Cross, for collective worship events linked to harvest, remembrance, Christingle, Easter and leavers celebration. Canon Richard Stainer joins us for these events and will lead prayers and blessings.
Milton Parochial Primary School is a Christian values-based Church school at the heart of our community, where we strive for excellence and encourage and nurture every child to reach their God-given full potential to flourish – educationally, personally, morally and spiritually.
Love your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 22:36-40) and do to others as you’d have them do to you (Luke 6:31)
