As a church school, our Christian ethos is very important to us. Each half term, we have a new Christian value that we focus on through assemblies, class worship time and throughout the school day.

Our current value is:

Compassion

Below are some Bible verses and Bible stories that the children will be looking at based on this value...

Our School Prayers

The Lord’s Prayer:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever, Amen.

Our school prayer: ‘Dear God, thank you for our school where we are happy to love, learn and pray together. Sorry for all the wrong things we all do. Please help us to show compassion in and out of our school. Amen.’

Welsh Diolch Prayer: ‘Diolch am ffrindiau, diolch am deulu, diolch am ysgol, diolch am fyd. Diolch am fwyd a diolch am gartref, Diolch i Dduw am bopeth o hyd. Amen’
