Illuminated by Christ, we radiate His love

Prayer and Liturgy

In essential part of the Catholic ethos of our school is the prayer life. Staff meetings and Governors meetings begin with a prayer. The most important aspect of prayer for children is that they realise it is their way of communicating with God and is first and foremost a personal occasion. Children are encouraged to pray in different ways according to their age and personal development.

Children are introduced to a variety of different ways of praying:
  • quiet reflection / meditation
  • praying together
  • writing own prayers
  • prayers through music
  • learning traditional Christian / Catholic prayers
  • Staff are encouraged to pray with children, and to be an example for them
​
Every day, our children are taught to open their hearts and talk to God. Every class partakes in daily prayers which are said at different stages in the day.
