b'Collective Worship Collective Worship plays a central role in the life of our school community and is an expression of our Christian Vision. Through this we can meet the needs of all members of our school community, wherever they may be on their journey of faith and belief, by providing opportunities to encounter faith in an inclusive, invitational and inspiring manner.Our Collective Worship aims to help students to consider how they might pursue their God-given potential, and use their gifts to serve others, wherever they may nd themselves. Consequently, it plays a central role in fostering our strong sense of community; it also makes an important contribution to the aspiration, achievement, personal development and wellbeing of all our students, helping to equip and inspire them to become courageous advocates for change in the world.Our Collective Worship explores the Academys Christian vision through our shared Be Values, which were chosen by the students themselves. These values aim to develop character and also contribute to academic progress. Our worship is collective in that it involves gathering together as a community and having an opportunity for stillness, reection and, for some, prayer - in an otherwise busy working environment. Our worship does not assume faith, but offers opportunities for all members of our school community to think, to ask questions, to reect and the space to pray if they wish to. Care is taken to ensure that the language used is accessible, and warmly welcoming. 15'
