In everything we do , our aim is to 'encourage and help each other' 
- 1 Thessalonians 5:11 -

At Witley, our Christian ethos permeates every layer of school life. It is the basis upon which we educate the whole child and ensure both spiritual development and academic progress. We have a broad and balanced programme for collective worship which incorporates special times and events within the year. Children are given time for reflection and are encouraged to see the joy and wonder of the world.

"Open The Book assemblies are amazing because we see stories from the Bible acted out."

The majority of our collective worship are for the whole school and take place in the Jubilee Hall. One assembly a week is based in the classroom to allow each year group to come together and share the occasion more intimately. We have regular visitors to our collective worship, such as Revd Amy from All Saints Church, Witley, and a team of volunteers from ‘Open the Book’ who deliver bible stories through drama and storytelling.

 

Each week, we have a special Celebration Assembly. This is a time where we celebrate achievements across our school. Children are nominated for a 'ready to learn' attitude and for demonstrating one of our school values such as friendship, respect, joy, resilience, trust and confidence. We also celebrate birthdays and children are encouraged to bring in certificates and medals to share their success in activities, like swimming, out of school with friends in school.
