"Keep your roots deep in Jesus Christ the Lord and have your lives built on him. Be strong in the faith, just as you were taught, And always be thankful." Colossians 2:7

We believe that the love of God, revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ, guides us in our life together. Each member of our school family is nurtured in the fullness of life that God gives. Through learning we use all that He gives us to excel in our achievements. We believe that joy is found in being thankful for Jesus and serving others before yourself.

Worship at Woodplumpton St Anne’s

At Woodplumpton St Anne’s CE Primary School, we view worship as a meaningful and special time dedicated to showing reverence to God. Our collective worship brings the whole school community together to share the Good News of the Gospel, celebrate God’s love, and recognise our achievements as a school family. Our worship is Inclusive, Invitational and Inspiring.

Worship is at the heart of our school life and is rooted in the Christian values that shape our ethos. Through collective worship, we aim to reflect and reinforce our school's vision and values, nurturing a sense of unity, purpose, and spiritual growth in all members of our community.

“A family where God guides our footsteps.”

We are currently taking part in the Blackburn Diocese Year of Prayer.

“The intention for the year is to pray for new and deeper disciples for Jesus Christ and to pray for themselves that they may be cleansed and renewed in the power of the Holy Spirit for a season of mission in our centenary year 2026.” Blackburn Diocese 2025

Our Worship calendar follows the Christian Value that we are exploring each half term.

Monday – Prayer and Praise.

Tuesday – Picture News, planned and led by the children.

Wednesday – A worship based on our Christian Value using Roots and Fruits – led by Class Teachers.

Thursday – Christian Worship led by our Vicar

Friday – Celebration assembly – celebrating children’s achievements in, around and out of school.

Each week, children from Key Stage 2 lead our Picture News Worship.

• They ask a ‘big question’ linked to a current news story.
• Explain the story and provoke a meaningful discussion through using open ended questions.
• Make links to Christian and British Values.
• Allow children time to reflect and pray.

Our Values

You will see how we have carefully linked each of our key focus Christian Values to the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development of the children, our British Values and how we have ensured the culture of our school reflects these values.

School Values Council

At our school, the School Values Council is an important part of our community. Each year, children from Year 1 to Year 6 have the opportunity to be elected by their classmates. Candidates present to their peers, explaining why they would like to represent their class on the council.

The council meets every half term to discuss a range of topics, including school worship, charitable initiatives, and how we can live out our Christian Vision both in and beyond the classroom.

Over the past two years, the School Values Council has worked closely with Reverend Lois to create a new school prayer, which is now part of our worship.

Courageous Advocacy 

Our School Values Council (SVC) recently led a Reverse Advent Calendar initiative. Instead of receiving gifts, children brought in donations of food each day during Advent. These items were then donated to our local food bank, helping families in need over the festive season.

The SVC also held a thoughtful discussion about how to use a generous donation from the PTFA. After organising a class ballot, the children chose to donate the funds to Save the Children. Many pupils felt a strong connection to this charity, which supports children of similar ages who urgently need access to food, shelter, and other essentials.

Coming Soon: Toilet Twinning!

Our next project is Toilet Twinning – a fun and impactful way to raise awareness and vital funds to help provide safe and hygienic toilet facilities around the world. Stay tuned to see how we’ll get involved!
