Religious Education
Collective Worship
Every day students gather either in forms or as a year group for a daily act of worship. The daily acts of worship at Blessed Edward Oldcorne follow the Chuche’s Liturgical Year. In the form group liturgies prayer leaders lead the form in prayer each morning.
All form groups think about specific prayer intention following the catholic Church cycle of prayer.

The prayer shelf is the focal point during the Collective Daily Act of Worship each morning during form time.
at the end of each term, students reflect on the liturgical season and the term in a Tutor Group Liturgy.
Each morning during our Collective Act of Worship we gather together, listen to a piece of scripture, music or reflection, respond with our own personal prayer intentions and think about how we can use the message in our own lives.
