Christian Distinctiveness

At Sissinghurst Church of England Primary School in partnership with the Church, parents, and wider community, we offer an inclusive learning environment to nurture potential that enables all to be successful.  Vibrant, rich curricular opportunities equip everyone with knowledge and skills to question, discuss and challenge.

Everyone’s talents are discovered and celebrated.  We foster spiritual growth and reflection to find wonder and joy in the World together. As light bearers, our shared responsibility is to encourage each other to be compassionate and kind so we can all shine with integrity, humility and wisdom. We find courage to act when we know there is darkness, illuminating the World with God’s light and hope.

Collective Worship

Our collective worship plays a key role in daily work at Sissinghurst VA Primary School. It provides us with valuable opportunity to reaffirm our Christian values and ethos. It is a special time in the school day to come together to strengthen our sense of community, belonging and inclusiveness and to reinforce the respect and care we have for each other. Through collective worship we make a contribution to the religious, spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of those present,

Throughout the year we hold a Harvest, Christmas, Easter and Leaver's Service at Trinity Church, Sissinghurst. These services are led by the children alongside Rev Pete.  Parents are always very welcome to join us for these important events in the school year.

Worship Leaders

Our Worship Leaders are chosen from our older pupils and are called Leading Lights.  They welcome everyone to collective worship and support with the stories and prayers. Our school prayer is below.

Father, We ask that you would
Bless us in our school
Give us the strength to learn
To be kind, to be fair
And to look after others
We are thankful for all your gifts

Amen
