Acts of Worship
Formal Acts of Worship take place on a fortnightly basis with Years 7 & 8 meeting together; Years 9 & 10 gathering together and Years 11-13 meeting in the main hall. This is a time of reflection; reading the Bible; listening to a short talk and a time of intercessory prayer for the World. As students enter the main hall, student musicians play as they come in and as they leave.
Deputy Head, Ben Williams, leading our Acts of Worship about 'Wisdom'
We have four formal services each year, where the whole school community gathers together to celebrate Easter, our end of year Celebration and Thanksgiving service, Remembrance and Christmas:

Remembrance
Each year students and staff gather together to pay our respects to those who have given up their lives for the freedom that we enjoy today.
In preparation for these services, each form creates their own poppy cross which are filled with students' prayers for peace. These are framed and hung in each form room as a visual reminder of Jesus' peace. Our Creative Intervention students also created a beautiful piece of artwork under the special guidance of local Christian artist, Sue Salter.

Heads of Year Assemblies
The Heads of Year Assemblies occur every week. They open and close with a prayer of peace. Students are also encouraged to collectively say The Trinity Prayer:
Friday Form Worship
Form Worship takes place every Friday. This enables students to explore and participate in acts of reflection and pray together as a class. It includes a Bitesize Bible reflection. Students are also invited to reflect upon wider world issues and participate in praying for our world in need. From ‘caring for creation’ to understanding about the persecuted church; issues relating to equality and helping those living in poverty. Trinity aims to provide an environment where students are encouraged and supported to put their faith into action - each year we support the Samaritan's Purse Christmas Shoebox Appeal. Within Friday's form worship, students may also have an opportunity to listen to a hymn or worship song to celebrate God and one another.
Here is an example of our Friday Form Worship:
