At Priory CE Academy we are passionate about encouraging all of our children to ‘Work TOGETHER with God to be the best that we can be’. This is in all aspects of school life, from our academic learning to becoming the best future citizens that we can.
The children are held at the heart of all we do. We work in close collaboration with our wider community and the St Bart’s Trust to inspire our children to be the light of the world and to grow their knowledge together
We are proud to be a Church of England Primary school. Our school TOGETHER values are integral to all we do all we offer to our children, staff and the wider community.
Collective Worship at Priory
At Priory we gather together to take part in daily acts of worship to support our pupils in their: spiritual development, sense of community, to support our moral and ethical learning, explore religious and cultural views and to reflect and celebrate together.
At Priory we provide a wide range of worship experiences throughout the week. Our worship times take place as either whole school or within our individual classes.
We work closely with Reverend Shaun from St Matthias Church in Hanford, who delivers worship on a weekly basis. We also host ‘Open the Book’ worships with Trentham Parish Church.
Monday—Teacher Led
On Mondays we start the week in whole school collective worship. This worship is led by our teachers and introduces the worship theme of the week. Our themes are taken from iSingPop and are based on Christian values such as honesty.
Praise Time
We have the opportunity to sing our praises! Praise time fosters our sense of community and is a time where we explore themes of spirituality, values and well-being all through song.

In these special class worships, we continue our spiritual learning with the iSingPOP crew. Our Monday worship themes link with iSingPOP and we have the opportunity to sing our Praises too!
