--- title: "Prayer and Liturgy" url: "https://www.englishmartyrs.co.uk/catholic-life/prayer-and-liturgy" school: "English Martyrs Catholic Primary School (Litherland)" --- # Prayer and Liturgy ## Prayer and Liturgy The children’s experience of prayer and liturgy is immersive from the youngest years. Sacred silence is modelled to children from their earliest days at school. All those present are invited to participate in prayer. Pupils understand that prayer time is special. Pupils are encouraged to actively and consciously participate, within an ethos of inclusivity. For example, we seek opportunities for our pupils to experience sign language or movement as part of their spoken or sung prayer. Pupils’ prayer times are at an appropriate length for their age and stage. As pupils progress through our school, they experience a variety of forms of prayer and different ways to pray as part of the Catholic tradition. For a selection of the prayers we use, please see the Prayer Book below: [Embedded content](https://files.schudio.com/pdf/flipbook/?src=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.schudio.com%2Fenglish-martyrs-catholic-primary-school-litherland%2Ffiles%2Fflipbooks%2FEnglish_Martyrs_Prayer_Book.pdf) Prayer and Liturgy Policy 2026 175 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/english-martyrs-catholic-primary-school-litherland/files/documents/TO_BE_AGREED_JUNE_2026_Prayer_-_Liturgy_Policy.pdf) Prayer & Liturgy - Annual Plan of Provision 26/27 207 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/english-martyrs-catholic-primary-school-litherland/files/documents/APOP_English_Martyrs_2026_7.pdf) ### Monthly Family Newsletter - Ten:Ten: [![September 2026](https://new.express.adobe.com/webpage/kfwpHlru1gxKF/resources?asset_id=rendition&buster=1785249584063)](https://new.express.adobe.com/webpage/kfwpHlru1gxKF/) ### Catholic Life - [Overview](https://www.englishmartyrs.co.uk/catholic-life) - [Prayer and Liturgy](https://www.englishmartyrs.co.uk/catholic-life/prayer-and-liturgy) - [Pupil Voice](https://www.englishmartyrs.co.uk/catholic-life/pupil-voice) - [Live Simply Award](https://www.englishmartyrs.co.uk/catholic-life/live-simply-award) - [Social Signature](https://www.englishmartyrs.co.uk/catholic-life/social-signature) - Parish Links - [Our Parish website](https://ourladyandenglishmartyrs.co.uk/) - [Sacramental Information](https://ourladyandenglishmartyrs.co.uk/sacraments/eucharist-first-holy-communion/) **English Martyrs Catholic Primary School (Litherland)** School Lane Litherland Liverpool L21 7LX Tel: 0151 928 5601 ## Contact Details: 0151 928 5601 © Copyright 2023–2026 English Martyrs Catholic Primary School (Litherland) School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.englishmartyrs.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
