Assemblies take place following a Christian act of collective worship. Assemblies should have a religious or moral theme or be a shared celebration of achievement. The school follows themes that focus on different virtues for assemblies, and we integrate SEMH, PHSRE and multicultural themes, too.
Whole school assemblies take place on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in the hall. This does not include Foundation Stage in the Autumn Term. Monday’s assembly introduces the Virtue of the week. Wednesday is singing practice with a collective worship element. A celebration assembly is held in Phase groups on a Friday.
Mrs Banner will lead all other whole school assemblies, visiting guests will also take some assemblies throughout the year.
