A collective Act of Worship takes place each day. This is a special and important part of life at Westleigh. This act of worship enhances our faith and Methodist foundations alongside the strong links we have with our local Churches. 

On Wednesday and Thursday we have class worship. On one of these days we celebrate together with other Epworth Trust Schools. On the other we have Picture News.

Each week, the Picture News team choose a current news story, provide an image, a thought-provoking question and a variety of worship resources. We use these as the basis for collective worship.

Picture News provide schools with resources to create engaging and exciting worship lessons, allowing opportunities for children to learn about our world, develop independence, resilience, respect and unlock their own drive and passion for learning. Teaching the news not only provides great content and stimulus and grips children’s attention, it is also something that the children can impact. It is current, happening now and so their voice is given meaning and purpose. It is our world and we all matter.

We believe in giving children a voice and encouraging them to use it to impact things they are inspired by or feel passionately about.

A celebratory worship 'Celebration Praise' takes place every Friday where we celebrate the achievements of our children in and out of school.
