Worship Team

At Cookridge Holy Trinity Primary school the children take great pride in being part of our Worship Team.
Collective Worship is a highly values and integral part of each day, incorporating our school’s vision and core Christian Values. Each class from Y1-6 elects their own Worship Team representative who helps and supports us follow our school’s Christian Values.
The Worship Team meet on a regular basis. They listen carefully to the views of their peers, so that pupil voice is heard.
The Worship Team work closely with Miss Lillington to help to plan and lead their own worships linked to special charities and occasions throughout the year and they are also actively involved in monitoring and evaluating our worship in school, so that we can make Collective Worship in our school the very best it can be!
Each week the Worship Team will help our Headteacher in our Celebration worship, a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our learners and their achievements!
The Worship Team are involved in lots of charity events throughout the school year including the Macmillan bake sale, Shoebox Appeal, Reverse Advent calendar and our fantastic Grandparents Afternoon Tea, which is always a highlight for the children! The Worship Team encourages their peers to be “courageous advocates”; championing causes which are special and meaningful to them.  These may be global issues or matters far more personal and closer to home. The Worship Team evaluates their involvement in each charity and understands how they can help make the world a better place.
