"For you are precious in my eyes" 

Isaiah tells us that we are made by God and we are unique and special. It is God’s word that we hear and work hard to follow in things that we say and in things that we do. 

In our prayer and liturgy we use Scripture as a starting point, with God’s word as the focus of our prayers and thoughts.  Opportunities are provided to use the Scriptures to celebrate and gather together so we can demonstrate the glory of God in our lives.

Across school, prayer time is a time for reflection as well as worship, with words from Scripture inspiring the pupils to think and reflect deeply on what God's word means for us today, in our everyday lives.

As children move through school, they take an increasingly active role in planning and leading prayer & worship. This is a responsibility which our children welcome and respect, sharing the word of God thoughtfully and reverently with their peers.

May 2025
May begins and we are still in the season of Eastertide. As we continue to celebrate the Risen Jesus, we are invited to get to know Him; to recognise Jesus in our lives, listen to His voice and follow Him.

We also celebrate Mary our Mother, as May is traditionally the month of Mary. Many parishes and schools will be honouring Our Lady with spring flowers in May Processions and opportunities to pray the Rosary.

This newsletter shares some of the content children will experience in school throughout May, and suggests ways for you to engage with them about it. We hope it is a useful resource for your family prayer time.
