At Alice Ingham, daily Collective Worship is at the heart of our school life. These worship sessions provide a dedicated time for our school community to gather in prayer, reflection, and spiritual growth. Each day, we come together to deepen our relationship with God and strengthen the bonds within our community.

Through stories, prayers, and hymns, we encourage our children to embody values such as love, respect, care, and resilience, creating a nurturing environment where faith is at the centre of all we do. Collective Worship at Alice Ingham fosters a sense of togetherness and moral development, helping our students to live out their faith in practical and meaningful ways as they grow spiritually.
