Worship Group

Rev Simon Skidmore from St Chad’s Church works with many of our children on a weekly basis. The worship group contribute to an inspiring education based on Christian beliefs, through fun activities and assemblies.

Personal Introduction

I am Rev Simon Skidmore (known as Simon) and I’m the Parish Mission Priest of Bilston based at St Chad’s Church in the Parish of Bilston. I come into school on Wednesday afternoons and spend half my time with classes; looking at stories in the Bible and other Christian-related themes. The other half of my time is co-ordinating and working with the schools ‘Worship Group’.

The school has a consistent and friendly worshipping ethos which integrates with its core values. It encourages pupils to participate in and initiate a variety of Acts of worship both in school and in St Leonards Church and I thoroughly enjoy working with the school and its pupils.

Our Worship Group

We are Worship Group and are an important part of Worship in our school. To become part of Worship Group, we write a letter of application and say why we wanted to be in Worship Group. Mrs Lewis met with us to talk about what our role in school would be. We are timetabled each day, to support whichever adult is leading Worship by welcoming everyone to Worship and lighting three candles. The three candles represent the Trinity - God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Following Anglican traditions we will end Worship by saying the dismissal. One of our first tasks was to deliver our Harvest donations to The Well - a Christian based foodbank in Wolverhampton. Please see the pictures below. We are very proud to represent our school.
