Be an example for the believers in your love, speech, faith, conduct and purity.’

(Timothy 4:12)

 Our children have the opportunity to serve the school as part of the RE Ambassadors team. Anyone can apply by writing an application letter.

The team play a vital role in the Spiritual life of the school and are supported by the Academy Principal, Mrs Seal, and RE Co-ordinator, Mrs Ward.

The role of our RE Ambassadors team includes:

• To help the school to be a community of faith.
• To help choose our Gospel Values.
• To encourage the pupils to live their faith in daily living.
• To develop good relationships within and beyond the school community.
• To support liturgy, prayer and the spiritual life of the school.
• To continue to develop strong links with the Parish and community.
• To support the school in its Mission Statement.

In order to fulfill these roles; our Ambassadors will:

• Help to prepare Acts of Worship and masses, including selecting readings.
• Help to lead Acts of Worship.
• Suggest ideas for RE resources.
• Promote bible stories.
• Contribute to the newsletter.

The following are our five top tips to help us be successful Ambassadors:

1. Listen to each other’s ideas.
2. Communicate with all the team members, school and parish.
3. Encourage everyone when making decisions, to share their ideas and to try their best.
4. Include everyone when making decisions.
5. Lead by example, love everyone especially people you don’t get on with.

Pupil Led Worship

The RE Ambassadors work together in two groups to organise whole school worship.  Some themes they have chosen this year have included Peace and the Beatitudes. 

Each collective worship includes readings from the Gospel, a story relating to real life, prayers, quiet music and a big question to reflect upon. 

The children enjoy taking on this responsibility.

Wednesday Word

As part of our RE curriculum, every Wednesday morning two year six pupils visit each class and deliver the Wednesday word. During the sessions, the pupils read a gospel story and discuss with the class the meaning of the gospel story. Pupils then discuss what can be taken from this to help further improve ours and others lives.  A Wednesday Word is also sent home to families so they can discuss the Wednesday Word with their children and make links to home life.

What do Year Six say about Delivering the Wednesday Word?

“I really like doing the Wednesday Word, because I can deepen children’s learning”

“I enjoy sharing the stories from the bible.”

“I love hearing other pupil’s views and thoughts.”

“I feel it is a good way to develop our confidence and it gives us a chance to interact with other year groups.”
