Collective Worship

Once per half term, students will gather in the Drama Hall before their Next Steps session to join in Collective Worship led by either their Head of Year or the School Chaplain. At SGS, spirituality relates to how we define ourselves in the world.  

We seek to deliver Collective Worship which is inclusive, invitational and inspiring meeting the needs of pupils and adults wherever they may be on their journey of faith and belief and fostering a sense of:

• Dignity: Underpinning all that we do is the core belief in the ultimate worth of each person as a child of God – precious, valued and loved by God. Dignity comes from the knowledge of our ultimate worth as human beings. 

• Community: Having understood our value as individual human beings, we express this value through the quality of the relationships that we share with each other. Community, living well together, is of very great importance to us as a school, as is the place we each take in the wider community locally, nationally and internationally. 

• Wisdom: As a Sixth Form, we seek to foster confidence, delight and discipline in seeking wisdom, knowledge and truth. This is achieved through the nurturing of academic habits and skills, emotional intelligence, resilience and creativity across the breadth of the curriculum. 

• Hope: As we prepare our students for the future, we look to open up horizons of hope and aspiration, encouraging our students to embrace these with confidence and sending them out to make a difference to the world in which they live.
