RE and faith life.

At Christ Church School, we believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life and is entitled to the relevant support to enable them to fulfil their potential. Our aim is to provide an exciting and dynamic learning experience, which gives children the opportunity to acquire the skills, attitudes and knowledge, which will enable them to understand the world around them, as they perceive it.

We as a school, all work extremely hard aspiring to achieve our school vision in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Our children are given opportunities to flourish and we encourage pupils, staff and families to develop their intimacy with God through prayer and their own reflections.

Through our Christian foundations, we acknowledge our responsibility to all, to enrich lives and show love and respect within our school family. We believe in life-long learning aiming to equip our children to live life today and for tomorrow rooted in Christian love.  

Children and staff engage in daily collective worship around the value and this is planned around whole school themes. Our half termly collective worship overview identifies the liturgical calendar links, international holidays and festivals and also takes into account any Local, National or Global issues to encourage children to reflect upon.

Each week, there is a collective worship follow on task planned for children to revisit the key messages explored during worship, unpicking scripture and allowing them to dig deeper or to ask and respond to their ‘big questions.’ Collective worship may be delivered outdoors, in classrooms, the school hall or even our church! We also enjoy weekly visits from the clergy at Christ Church Parish Church, Moreton.ion

We have taken 6 Christian Values from our school vision and we focus on one of these half termly. Our aim as a school is to ensure that our vision is a living reality which enables pupils and adults to flourish, so we have taken the values from our theologically rooted vision from Romans 12:9-12. The values we have chosen are:

• Respect - respect one another

• Patience - be patient in your troubles

• Love - love must be comletely sincere; love one another warmly as Christians

• Hope - let your hope keep you joyful

• Service - serve the Lord with a heart full of devotion

• Joy - be joyful in Christ's love

At the end of each half term, a year group will deliver collective worship to their peers and parents to explain their learning and reflections on the value, demonstrating the context of how it links to our school vision.

Our school ethos group are called the Vision Voyagers.  They are a group of children fromY5 and Y6 who are recruited to be pivotal players in developing the Christian Distinctiveness of our school. They meet weekly and are currently working on further developing our shared language of spirituality, evaluating and improving our collective worship, whilst also improving prayer spaces around the school.   We have strong links with our Church and are developing links with other CE schools across Wirral and Cheshire and with Moraba Primary School in Kenya. Through these projects, they are developing an awareness that they are part of a wider faith family and can make an impact on the world.

These ambassadors will represent the school at Christ Church Parish Church services and lead the whole school community in reflection days e.g. Experience Harvest & Experience Pentecost.
