Listen · Lead · Pray
EYFS · Key Stage 1 · Key Stage 2
A four-stage progression from teacher-led prayer to increasing pupil independence, supporting children to prepare, participate in and lead prayer and liturgy.
For every stage
From Nursery to Year 6, Listen · Lead · Pray grows with your pupils. A complete progression of formation, planning and leadership provides age-appropriate resources for every phase.
In the Early Years, children begin to encounter God through the Sunday Gospel, Sacred Silence and simple acts of prayer. Through age-appropriate, sensory experiences, they learn to listen, respond and participate with others, building strong foundations for prayer and liturgy.
In Key Stage 1, children grow in confidence as they participate more intentionally in prayer and liturgy. Through the Sunday Gospel, Sacred Silence and guided prayer experiences, they learn to gather, listen, respond and begin preparing and leading Celebration of the Word with support.
In Key Stage 2, children contribute with growing confidence to prayer and liturgy, preparing and leading Celebration of the Word with increasing independence. Through the Sunday Gospel, Sacred Silence and deeper reflection, they make meaningful connections between Scripture, mission and daily life, encouraging others to participate as they grow in confidence, responsibility and leadership.
Proverbs 22:6 (ESV-CE)Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
