Prayer and Liturgy

Prayer at St Peter's School 

At St Peter’s, Prayer and Liturgy is integral to developing the children’s relationship with Christ. Gospel values are embedded in all that we do with Christ at the centre. Prayer and Liturgy is central to our Catholic ethos and we expect all staff to lead and model good practice in prayer. It provides an opportunity for all to reflect on God’s word and to celebrate and respond to the beliefs and attitudes, which characterise Christian life.

At St Peter’s we strive to provide a rich variety of prayer and assemblies, which will deepen the pupil’s sense of belonging to the faith community of our school and to the wider church. Children take an active role in planning, leading and evaluating Prayer and Liturgy. We believe worship remembers and celebrates God’s work in our lives. It celebrates His presence amongst us today and allows children and staff the opportunity to be joined with Him.

In our school, Prayer and Liturgy takes many forms including prayer, song, assemblies, meditation and liturgies. We strive to provide many opportunities for the children to develop their relationship with God. Children are encouraged to meditate and reflect deeply on the Gospel Values and carefully consider how these will impact on their lives and the lives of others.
