A strong Christian ethos serves as the foundation for our mission statement and school values, which guide everything we do.
While we celebrate and embrace all major global religions, our daily acts of Collective Worship are generally Christian in origin.
The minister from the nearby Methodist church leads worship in addition to the clergy and lay readers from St. Nicholas Church.
We invite all parents, grandparents, and carers to attend our Thursday Collective Worship, which is facilitated by the clergy.
Our goal is to thoroughly integrate the term's Christian value so that it is relevant and "real" to students, staff, and parents. It serves as the foundation for the school's everyday operations.
The emphasis on Christian ideals is highlighted in the school's long-term Collective Worship strategy.
Every class includes a designated space for prayer and thought.
The term's Christian virtue serves as the general theme for meditation, and each week we recognise the accomplishments of kids who have demonstrated a specific level of empathy or application of that value.
We are also intrigued by the numerous parallels that exist between the ideals and tenets of all major world religions.
Richard is a member of the Quaker Community in York.
He led us in silence as he addressed the entire school on how Quakers worship together.
I'm grateful, Richard.
Ben brought a very unique Torah for us to view.
The Iman at York Mosque is named Abid.
He came to speak to us about Islam.
When we studied the Quran, we found that it contained several passages that were similar to those in the Christian Old Testament.
We also discovered that Muslims offer five daily prayers at the mosque.
Suki Matharu, a member of the Sikh community, brought a variety of fascinating artefacts to share with us about Sikhism.
We learnt that a Sikh place of worship is called a Gurdwara and that Sikhs are very hospitable, welcoming everyone of all faiths to join them in meals in the Gurdwara.
Every term, YOYO comes in to lead Collective Worship with a Christian theme, like Christmas, Easter, or Harvest.
After joining us for lunch, the Bishop of Selby led the school's collective worship.
