Prayer at St Peter's
Prayer is an integral part of our school life at St Peter's as an expression of our faithful love for God. Children should develop their understanding that God is always there for them and that they can pray or speak to him at any time, both formally and informally.
As the children move forward on their journey of faith, the opportunities for prayer that they experience in school should enable them to deepen their personal relationship with God.
At St Peter's, we aim to:
-Create and maintain a stimulating and appropriate environment where prayer can be fostered and developed fully.
-Provide children with opportunities to use the language of prayer, (praising, thanking, asking, saying sorry, meditation and quiet reflection) in a meaningful and respectful way.
-Teach children traditional and school prayers, introduced progressively through the school.
-Give children opportunities to use/create their own prayer
