We have an active prayer and liturgy at Holy Trinity.

At Holy Trinity RC Primary School, we are deeply committed to nurturing the spiritual development of every child through a rich and diverse programme of prayer and liturgical celebration. Our provision is guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church and our mission to grow together as a family that pray and learn.

To ensure a meaningful and inclusive approach to worship and prayer, the school is committed to:

– Fulfilling its statutory obligations with regard to daily acts of collective worship, in accordance with the requirements of the Catholic Education Service and the Diocese.

– Providing a variety of prayer and liturgical experiences that are developmentally appropriate, allowing children to encounter and participate in worship in ways that are meaningful to their age and stage of faith.

– Developing a shared repertoire of traditional and contemporary prayers and liturgical music, enabling pupils to engage in communal worship with confidence and reverence.

– Encouraging progressive pupil participation, ensuring that as children grow, they take increasing responsibility for planning, leading, and reflecting upon prayer and liturgical celebrations.

– Prioritising the celebration of the Eucharist, particularly on Holy Days of Obligation and other significant dates in the Church’s and school’s liturgical calendar, fostering a deep reverence for the Mass as the source and summit of Catholic life.

– Promoting the Sacrament of Reconciliation as a vital part of the liturgical year, especially during Advent and Lent, providing opportunities for children to encounter God’s mercy and forgiveness.

– Holy Trinity  seeks to create a prayerful, reflective, and vibrant worshipping community, where Christ is at the centre of all we do.

Daily acts of worship…

At Holy Trinity, we love God and worship Him daily. Jesus taught us how to pray, and so we share in prayer and worship as a school family, in different ways and at different times during the week.

Class 4 led a celebration of the Word on our school values and they focussed on Friendship

Each class also gathers throughout the week for a child led Celebration of the Word. The children plan their own worships, choosing scriptures, prayer and activities and reflect on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Every classroom also has their own individual worship area where the children are encouraged to reflect and have personal worship opportunities each day. On Fridays, we gather as a whole school community for our Celebration Assembly where children’s achievements from the week are celebrated with a special award given in recognition of those who have showed our school motto in their actions.

Father Gerard led an Advent liturgy for the whole school. The chidren wrote Advent promises on a hand print and made a wreath. 

Class 1 talked about one of our school values in collective worship and made a friendship web.
