St. Paul's Catholic Primary School

Prayer and Worship

At our Catholic school, prayer and worship are central to our daily life and routines. Through daily acts of worship and regular liturgical celebrations, our children are given meaningful opportunities to grow socially, morally, and spiritually. They engage in a rich variety of worship forms, including celebration, singing, formal liturgy, informal prayer, and shared reflection. Our pupils are familiar with the language, silence, and stillness that are integral to worship, and they approach these moments with reverence and understanding. Prayer and worship are shared, inclusive experiences, thoughtfully led by both staff and children, and are consistently delivered to a high standard.
