Assemblies and Collective Worship
"For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them..." - Romans 12: 4-6
Assemblies / Collective Worship
'When the school worships together, in school or at Church, there is a tangible sense of belonging.' - SIAMS 2020
Our current Collective Worship theme is Creativity.

Church Leader Collective Worship
Ben Phillips (Church Family Worker) from St Andrew's Church, Oakington does a weekly Collective Worship.
Celebration Assembly
Every Friday, we have a Celebration Assembly where Achievement and Progress certificates are presented, and children who have earned medals and certificates out of school can be presented with their awards.
We also celebrate birthdays in Birthday Club with Miss Childs, with whom children who have had a birthday recently get to sit down and share what they did or are doing for their birthdays. They are also given a scented birthday sticker!
Our House Captains give a House Points update.
Reading rewards are presented by class teachers.
Finally, we reward the most punctual classes with the
Golden Leaf Assemblies
At the end of each half-term, we have a Golden Leaf Assembly. Children who have stood out for having shown excellent determination, a conscientious attitude to work, and followed the school values throughout the half-term are awarded this accolade. The parents of these children are secretly invited in advance to join us in the assembly to celebrate their achievements.
GenR8 Assemblies
Occasionally, we have a group called GenR8 who deliver Collective Worship.
Rights and Responsibilities
At Oakington C of E Primary School, every member of our community has the right:
- to be treated with respect;
- to be safe physically and emotionally;
- to learn without unfair distraction.
We therefore have the responsibility to make sure we do not take away any of these rights.
