Our identity as a church school is at the heart of what we do, and we really believe that our pupils are entitled to our daily acts of worship.

Our Collective Worships are central to our status as a Church School and are mostly held at the end of each day to enable the children to have a quiet and reflective end to their day. Worship at St. John’s takes place in a variety of places, both inside and outside and has a variety of formats.

On Mondays we hold whole school worship in our school hall and it is led by our Headteacher, Mrs. Finlay.

Once a week there is a key stage worship in the hall that follows the half term value. This is led by the children and teachers and a follow-up worship is provided for class worship later in the week.

Every Thursday, we have another whole school worship in the hall, led by Revd. Laura from St. John the Baptist Church.

Finally, celebration worship takes place in the hall, once a week, where the children’s achievements from both inside and outside of school are celebrated. 

Each September, new Worship Reps are chosen by their classes to support worship across the school. The children are responsible for ensuring that the worship table in their classroom is well kept and respected. They also regularly discuss and give suggestions as to how we could improve worship at St. John’s.

We have a strong connection with St. John the Baptist Church and key events in the church calendar are celebrated through services at the church, led by different year groups. (Harvest, Christmas, Easter and Pentecost)
