Collective Worship and Assemblies
Sharing our faith together is important to us. We do this in lots of ways, including: Whole school Collective Worship, weekly Mass, special whole school Mass, Key Stage Collective Worship, class liturgy and daily prayer.

Throughout the school year, we also have a number of classes and Key Stage assemblies, where we gather together as a school community.
There are also a number of events which are held in St Joseph’s Church. This enables us to invite our families and also parishioners to celebrate and share key events with the school. Please refer to the weekly school newsletter for information about upcoming events.
Collective Worship and Assemblies
Collective Worship is an important part of school life and takes place every day.
Each school week begins with a whole school ‘ MAKER Spirit Celebration Assembly." This assembly gives all children the chance to shine and for the school community to hear about the things they have been doing. At the end of the assembly, everyone joins together for shared prayer time in thanksgiving.
Every school week ends by bringing together the children from Reception through to Year 6 to reflect on the Gospel message from Sunday Mass and how this can be taken into our week ahead. Each key stage holds a weekly collective worship and class collective worship takes place throughout the week.
Throughout the academic year, each class has the opportunity to plan and perform their own class assembly. These assemblies are themed and link to the topic currently being explored in RE.
Class Collective Worship
Class Collective Worship is planned and carried out by the children in individual classes with support from class teachers (this varies between Key Stages).
