Be the Change

Someone once said (attributed to Mahatma Gandhi…), ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’. As we begin a new term and a new year, we take the opportunity to do this: to bless and commission our school community for the year ahead and commit to the chance to be a blessing to others in return. Through events in the life of Jesus, we will be reflecting on the impact Jesus had on the ordinary people he met (including children!), helping children to fill in the gaps between Christmas and Easter in the narrative of Jesus’ life, making better sense of the timescale. But we will also be using these stories to help children to think about the impact that they, in turn, can have on their world, by issuing ‘Be the change…!’ challenges to do ‘small things with great love’, as Jesus did.

We include prayers and reflection as part of our collective worship which are always invitational.  Please also see our collective worship policy for further details.
