Collective worship

Collective Worship

Norton is a Church of England voluntary controlled primary school where its Christian ethos and values are at the heart of the school. 

Each half term the school has a new Christian value to focus on. These are discussed in class with each class having their own display linked. The Christian values also create the focus of daily assemblies. This year the Christian values focused on are :-

• Generosity 
• Compassion
• Courage
• Forgiveness
• Friendship
• Respect

The shared collective worship each week generally takes the below structure :-
