ASSEMBLY POLICY

RATIONALE

Assembly is a wonderful learning platform for everybody. Collective worship should aim to provide the opportunity for pupils to worship God, to consider spiritual and moral issues and explore their own beliefs; to encourage participation and response, whether through active involvement in the presentation of worship or through listening to and joining in the worship offered; and to develop community spirit, promote a common ethos and shared values, and reinforce attitudes.

AIMS

  • To help children develop an awareness of the presence of God in everyday life.
  • To help children develop a sense of awe and wonder at the world around them.
  • To offer children a spiritual dimension to their lives and personal relationships.
  • To provide regular opportunities for reflection and meditation.
  • To provide opportunities for thanksgiving and enjoying the unity which comes from sharing love, joy, friendship, anguish, fear and forgiveness.
