Values, Ethos and Worship Group
At Pendoylan Church in Wales Primary School, we believe it is important for pupils to have greater roles in school decision-making. We appreciate that pupils have ideas and opinions on issues that matter both within the school environment and in the wider community. We therefore give pupils an active role in determining actions that will have a positive impact on their well being and in turn their social, moral and spiritual growth. Our Pupil Voice Groups come under the umbrella of ‘Agents of Change.’
Our Values, Ethos and Worship Group is made up of elected representatives of pupils from Years 2 through to Year 6.
The Values, Ethos and Worship Group (V.E.W)meets fortnightly with Mrs Harris to plan and work towards achieving the yearly targets that they have agreed.
In 2025 – 2026 the Group agreed the following actions-
- To organise the Vale Harvest Foodbank Appeal.
- To plan, lead and monitor whole school worship.
- To learn how to use ‘I sing pop’ and incorporate into our Collective Worship.
- To develop the reflection garden into a space that can be used effectively by all children.
- To organise, lead and monitor the prayer spaces in each class and around the school.
- To help model and lead the school in delivering our Christian values.
Autumn Term Review
The children have planned and delivered worship around the Christmas story. They have assisted in whole school worship, Family Worship in the church and with ‘Open the Book.’
The Harvest Foodbank Appeal that the group organised was so successful and a van was needed to transport all the food to the local foodbank.
Members of V.E.W have been busy taking photographs of children at Pendoylan demonstrating our school’s Christian values to form part of a Values Display in the hall.
