Spiritual Ambassadors at Hayfield Cross

Every academic year, pupils in Key Stage 2 are invited to put themselves forward to serve on the Hayfield Cross Spiritual Ambassador team. Pupils are then elected to serve for the whole year.

Our mission is to:

  • Find ways to develop our school’s Christian character.
  • Support the development of Spiritual life at Hayfield Cross.
  • Act as role-models by demonstrating the school vision and ‘Being Brave’.
  • Support our school as we learn and live out our values of Joy, Fellowship and Integrity.
  • Take responsibility for our Chapel, Hub reflection area and displays.
  • Assist the Collective Worship leader by setting up the school hall for Collective Worship every morning.
  • Lead worship with drama, prayers, Biblical stories, music and singing.
  • Help the school to evaluate the impact of Collective Worship

In 2025-2026 we are aiming to:

  • Have regular meetings to discuss Collective Worship.
  • Plan and lead at least one Collective Worship per term.
  • Support worship at key events of the year – Christmas, Easter and end of school year – and liaise with visiting clergy.
  • Create a guidance leaflet for staff and visitors who lead Collective Worship.
  • Support the children in our school with their understanding of Spirituality.
  • Take part in the NATRE ‘Spirited Arts’ competition.
  • Update the Collective Worship display board, linking ideas to windows, mirrors and doors.
  • Lead lunch time sessions in the prayer garden and chapel.

Here are some of our spiritual ambassadors in action, discussing our school vision and how it links with the story of Joshua and the walls of Jericho.  The worship started with all children joining in the singing of the unique Hayfield Cross 'Fellowship' song.

Archbishop's Young Leader Award

This year, a range of Spiritual Ambassadors, Eco Warrior and School Councillors will be working towards the Archbishop’s Young Leader Award. They will be exploring our school and local community whilst trying to be courageous advocates for change. They will be part of sessions running throughout the year where they will learn leadership skills, evaluate their local community and finally take responsibility for their findings resulting in taking action to overcome these.

Young Leaders Award

Before we were involved with Archibishop's Young Leader Award in its current format, our The Spiritual Ambassadors took part in the NYLG project, a year-long programme that inspires and empowers pupils to be catalysts for positive change within their schools, communities, and churches.  They regularly met online with pupils from other primary schools. This helped them to grow in faith and discuss topics that are important to them and our local community.
