Pilgrimages

At the end of every term we have a whole school pilgrimage.  In preparation for the morning each class spends time reflecting on a particular religious story, a piece of artwork or religious festival which are based on a theme.  The classes create big questions and along with artefacts, music and photographs/ artwork they set out their classroom for everyone to visit.  During the pilgrimage every class spends time in each room providing the opportunity for reflection and wonder.     

Our Kindness Pilgrimage
At Harworth Academy, we recently took our pupils on a Kindness Pilgrimage – a special journey through activities designed to explore what kindness means and how we can live it out every day.

Each class hosted a station with a different theme, from helping hands and listening well, to forgiveness, encouragement, and stillness. Children created kindness rocks to share in the community, gave compliments to one another, and reflected on how small acts can make a big difference.

The pilgrimage ended with a celebration where every child received a Kindness Pilgrim certificate, reminding them that kindness is something we can all choose to share.

This experience helped our pupils to reflect, grow, and live out our Christian values in a memorable and joyful way.

Our Christmas Pilgrimage
This Christmas, the children at Harworth Academy took part in a special Christmas Pilgrimage, reflecting on the joy and hope of the season. Each class contributed in creative and meaningful ways – from producing beautiful artwork inspired by the Nativity story, to sharing music and songs that captured the wonder of Christmas.

The journey gave pupils time to pause, reflect, and celebrate together. Through art, music, and reflection, our children explored the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of love, peace, and kindness in our lives.

World Faiths.

This term was based on world faiths with each class exploring one of the major faiths. 

The Holy Trinity.

The children used art like the one below by Luca Rossettia da Orta to explore the Holy Trinity and its meaning to Christians.
