Collective Worship
Collective Worship/Assemblies
As a Church of England school, we have strong links with St Mary’s Church in Princes Risborough and with the Oxford Diocese. We hold daily acts of collective worship in the form of worship following the Anglican Liturgy.
The school preserves and develops its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with St Mary’s Church, Princes Risborough.
Our Christian Values explicitly linked to the Bible are: Curiosity, Respect, Responsibility and Perseverance
To underpin our values we use The Parable of the Mustard Seed, Matthew 13: 31-32 - from small beginnings, great things grow
