At Tynsel Parkes CE Primary Academy, Christian values are embedded in many parts of the curriculum and plays a central role in the life of the academy. There are daily acts of worship where we sing hymns, listen to stories, a time of reflection and prayer. Throughout the school day there are opportunities for prayer and reflection. Our Collective Worship will often link to our Academy Christian Values through a story and a Bible reading.
Children help to plan, organise and lead services which are held at St. Mary’s Church: Harvest, Christmas, Easter, and the Leavers’ Service. Children may use Bible readings and write their own prayers throughout the school week and during times of worship.
Worship through the week:
Monday – Whole school worship/Visitor whole school worship.
Tuesday – Reflection time and worship through song.
Wednesday – Class worship through picture news.
Thursday – Class worship.
Friday – Whole school celebration worship or visitor worship.
Tynsel Parkes has a worship team who work together and meet once a week at a lunchtime with a Christian Youth Worker, to prepare acts of worship linked to the core Christian Academy Values.
