How often does the school gather for assembly?

It is important for us to meet together to discuss our core values and develop children’s spirituality.

Daily assembly is a very special time of the day. It is usually based around a Bible story and includes a song and a prayer which the children are invited to join in with.

Year R attend our Values Assembly on Monday and Celebration Assembly on Friday.

Assemblies are based around our half-termly value, for example, friendship or thankfulness and are taught through scripture in the Bible.

Monday –

Values assembly led by Mrs Bliss

Tuesday –

Singing assembly led by Mrs Dickinson or Worship led by Canon John Harkin

Wednesday –

Assembly by the classteacher in class (based on Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning)

Thursday –

Rainbow Assembly led by Mrs Halsey

Friday –

Celebration assembly – led by Mrs Peers – Busy Bee certificates are awarded by teachers to children who have achieved their personal best and for excellence. Children’s achievements outside school are also celebrated and the child’s photo is displayed on our ‘Wall of Fame’.
