Everything you need to lead prayer with confidence.
"Prayer and liturgy in school is a privileged moment of encounter with God." — Prayer & Liturgy Directory §3.1
Liturgically grounded
Every prayer is shaped by the lectionary, the season, the liturgical colour, and the saint of the day. Scripture is quoted from ESV-CE — never paraphrased, never invented.
Full, active, conscious participation
Drafts include silence, posture, symbol and response — the building blocks the Directory names (§6.1) — so pupils don't watch prayer happen, they take part.
Forms pupils to plan and lead
The goal is for pupils to prepare and lead prayer. The builder is simple enough for key stage 2, structured enough to scaffold them as they grow.
Inclusive of every pupil
Catholic in tradition, hospitable to non-Catholic and other-faith pupils. Responses are offered as invitation, never instruction — the Directory's posture for the whole school community (§5.5).
Saves hours of preparation
Tell us about your class once; draft a faithful, age-tuned prayer in seconds. Refine it in conversation. The user remains the leader of the prayer — the builder helps plan.
Built-in safeguarding
If a pupil's input raises concern, designated staff are alerted automatically.
In collaboration with
A formed prayer life, day by day
Seasons, Solemnities, Sundays & Saints.
Open Class Prayer in the morning and you are met by the liturgical colour of the day, the week's Gospel reading, the saint or feast being kept, and the Pope's monthly intention.
- Sunday's Gospel, season, and liturgical colour — live from the calendar
- The Holy Father's monthly intention, woven into intercessions
- The half-term's Catholic Social Teaching theme, ready to pray with
- A morning offering, meditations, and reflections from approved partners — for any moment of the day
- Every created prayer saved to your library, organised by week
How it works
Gather. Word. Response. Send.
The fourfold shape the Bishops' Directory gives every classroom prayer (§7.2) — built into Class Prayer from the first draft.
1. Gather — tell us about your class
Year group, time of day, the day's liturgy, what's on your pupils' hearts. We anchor the prayer in the Trinitarian direction: to the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit.
2. Word & Response — refine in conversation
Class Prayer drafts a prayer rooted in today's Gospel and season. Shape the tone, length, posture, music, silence and intercessions. Scripture is quoted accurately; nothing is invented.
3. Send — pray, print, share, reflect
Display on screen, print a one-pager, save to your library, or share with the year team. Every prayer ends with a follow-up that invites pupils to act on what they've prayed.
For headteachers, RECS, and chaplains
Spirit-led. Pupil-planned. Inspection-ready.
The Catholic Schools Inspectorate looks for pupils who are "engaged deeply" and led to "full, active, and conscious participation," and for leaders who form staff and pupils to prepare, lead and evaluate prayer and liturgy with confidence. Class Prayer gives every classroom in your school the same formed, faithful starting point — and gives you the evidence trail to show it.
Whole-school formation
Consistent, formed prayer in every classroom — the Directory's vision of a school 'at prayer together'.
Evidence for Section 48
A clear record of the prayer and liturgy your school has prayed, by week, class and theme — ready for inspection.
Staff CPD, built-in
Every draft is a quiet act of liturgical formation: teachers absorb the shape, sources and language of Catholic prayer as they use it.
