Prayer is at the heart of life at Holy Family, providing regular opportunities for our children to develop their relationship with God, reflect on Scripture and grow in faith together. Through our 'Together, We Pray' sessions, children come together as a school community to share prayer, reflection and worship. We also warmly welcome parents and carers into school through our 'Stay and Pray' sessions, giving families the opportunity to experience prayer alongside their children and share in our Catholic life.

Our dedicated GIFT Team (Growing in Faith Together) plays an important role in nurturing our prayer life. The team helps to plan and deliver meaningful whole-school and class prayer and liturgy sessions, providing opportunities for children to take an active role in leading prayer, reflecting on Scripture and deepening their understanding of our faith.

We believe it is important to expose children to a rich variety of prayer experiences, helping them to discover different ways of communicating with God. These include traditional prayers, spontaneous prayer, guided reflection, meditation, Scripture-based prayer and creative approaches such as Visio Divina where children spend time prayerfully reflecting on religious images. We also provide opportunities for children to write and share their own prayers, offer intentions and spend time in quiet contemplation. Through these experiences, we aim to nurture a meaningful and inclusive prayer life where every child feels confident to encounter God in their own way.
