The Church of England vision for education is educating our children for ‘life in all its fullness’.  At Hallow Church of England Primary School our Christian values are based on the teachings of Jesus Christ; Love, Peace, Courage, Resilience, Uniqueness, Family, JOY and Faith.  These values are embedded in the daily life of the school and have a significant impact on the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all members of the school community.

We believe a daily act of worship provides an opportunity for children to create and participate in shared experiences of celebration, praise and thanksgiving to God.

We aim to enable pupils to reflect on our core Christian values and other values and beliefs to: 

Encourage children’s natural sense of awe and wonder of God’s creation
Develop the qualities of curiosity, celebration and gratitude which form the foundation of worship
To develop a sense of community
Explore and reflect on the meaning and purpose of important life issues and give an opportunity to respond to questions relating to life and beliefs
Develop a sense of meaning, value and purpose
Celebrate difference and diversities
Explore a variety of forms of worship
Encourage participation and response
Encourage the development of spiritual and moral awareness
Provide aspirations for our children

Picture News

As part of our collective worship time we use a resource called picture news. The weekly resource has been designed to expose children to current affairs, discover their interests and bring the world closer to their everyday lives. As part of this resource they provide a 'take home' which allows parents to discuss with their children the main story that has been focussed on in school that week.
