Our Collective Worship Leader is: Mrs Coultrip

Collective Worship is central to the life of our school. We meet everyday as a whole school community to talk and reflect on the teachings of the Bible and the life of Jesus. Collective Worship is planned around key themes and each theme is explored across a term. Worship is usually led by Mrs Rowley-Jones, however once a week Reverend Simon will lead an act of worship for us. The children lead worship every Thursday linked to the whole school theme. For more information about how Collective Worship works at St Mary of Charity, please read our Collective Worship Policy.

Our School Christian Vision 

“Feed my lambs….take care of my sheep.” John: 21

We are a family where everyone feels that they belong. A place of stability where through an innovative, creative curriculum, limitless aspiration and God’s love for us, learning flourishes for all.

In “Breakfast by Galilee” John: 21, Jesus teaches us how to have faith in times of change. He prepares his disciples to live in a changing world after his resurrection, just as we must be resilient to thrive in a future that is unknown to us. Everyone at St Mary of Charity will have the belief that they can be successful when challenged and that by working together and taking action, just as the disciples did under Jesus’ instruction, we can all achieve more than we thought possible.

Church Worship 

We hold special services at St Mary of Charity church throughout the Christian year, these include Harvest, Christmas and Easter where the whole school come together to worship. 

Prayer Days

We work alongside Canterbury Christian Schools Work Trust to run regular prayer days throughout the year. This are quiet, reflective spaces where the children have the opportunity to think and reflect on Jesus and what he means to them in their world. We are thankful to the work of the CCSWT which enables our pupils to have these opportunities. Below are some examples of the activities that the children have taken part in.
