All children have equal rights to access all areas of the curriculum, regardless of race, gender and disability. Within this subject area, the SLT and all staff endeavour to provide the appropriate provision for this to occur. This policy follows guidelines and practices that are stated and outlined in St. Oswald’s Equality Scheme.\n“Where two or three meet in my name I am there among them.”\n(Matthew 18:20)\n“Lord teach us to pray.”\n(Luke 11:1)\nIntroduction to Prayer and Liturgy\nAt St. Oswald’s Prayer and Liturgy has Christ at its heart, and whilst respecting diversity in belief, is Catholic in nature and reflects the traditions of our church and its belief in the Trinity.  In our school, we believe that it is much more that a legal requirement.  It is central to the Catholic life of our school, our mission, and is an essential part of the spiritual and moral development we aim to encourage and foster in our pupils.\nLegal Requirment\nIt is a legal requirement that there is a daily ‘act of worship’ offered for all pupils. This can take place at any time during the school day and can be either a single ‘act of worship’ for all pupils, or separate ‘acts of worship’ in different school groups such as classes, year groups or phases.\nPrayer and Liturgy is not designated curriculum time.  Parents have a right to withdraw their children from Prayer and Liturgy.  However, given its importance in our Catholic school, parents and prospective parents will be made aware of the fact that it can never be confined to ‘timetabled slots’ but may take place in a variety of contexts other than those which are specifically structured such as the RE curriculum.\nAims for Prayer and Liturgy\nAt St. Oswald’s, through Prayer and Liturgy, we aim to:\nProvide daily opportunities for children and staff to come together in God’s presence to welcome Him into our hearts,  thank Him, listen to Him and to place our own needs and those of others into His hands.\nOffer an opportunity to be inspired by the person of Jesus through listening to his Word.\nBe an opportunity to reflect on spiritual and moral issues.\nDevelop a sense of community and belonging to our school family than promotes a common ethos, shared values and reinforce positive attitudes.\nDevelop a sense of awe and wonder for children and staff.\nRespond to and celebrate different aspects of life in our school family, our parish community and the wider world.\nAllow participants to explore their own beliefs and respect those of others.\nDevelop skills such as reverence, reflection, interpretation and contemplation\nPrinciples\nAt St. Oswald’s the following principles guide our practice within Prayer and Liturgy:\nPrayer and Liturgy is inclusive.  It is an experience to which all can contribute and from which all can gain.\nPrayer and Liturgy is fundamental to the life of the school and its Catholic nature.\nIt is always presented in a positive way with a sense of occasion.\nPrayer and Liturgy contributes towards the Religious Education of our children by containing a range of elements such as: music (including hymns), readings from scriptures, speech, drama, and different types of prayer and reflection including silence.\nIt provides opportunities to celebrate, share reflect and take part in a social gathering which may include members of the children’s families.\nIt addresses the emotions and feelings of young people such as joy, friendship, sadness, loneliness, anger etc.\nIt considers the religious and educational needs of all who share in it:\nThose who form part of the worshipping community in church\nThose for whom school may be their first and","cbCaia2FT5XM6X4w","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia2FT5XM6X4w","docx",1341541,"English","# Introduction to Prayer and Liturgy\n## Legal Requirment\n## Aims for Prayer and Liturgy\n## Principles\n## Guidance for planning and learning Prayer and Liturgy\n## Creating the environment\n## Focus/Prayer Table","[{\"question\":\"What is the daily legal requirement for prayer and liturgy at St Oswald’s?\",\"answer\":\"All pupils must be offered a daily act of worship.
