At Our Lady and St Paul’s, collective worship is a cornerstone of our school life.

Our worship sessions provide a sacred time for our school community to gather in prayer, reflection, and spiritual growth. Guided by the TenTen  approach and ‘Mark 10 Mission’,  we help our children to embody these essential values in their everyday lives. Through stories, prayers, and songs, we encourage our pupils to live out virtues such as respect, kindness, and patience.

This focus fosters a nurturing environment where faith, learning, and moral development go hand in hand, helping each member of our school community to grow in friendship with Jesus Christ.
