Assemblies

Why do we hold assemblies?

To provide a focal point for the school curriculum and school-wide initiatives;
To celebrate individual, class and whole-school achievement;
To promote British values, particularly mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith; and,
To serve as a regular forum for sharing messages that contribute to the continuing improvement of the school;
To provide opportunities for self-reflection;
To develop a community spirit.

Each assembly should:-

Promote a sense of awe and wonder about the world;
Affirm positive values, including school values and the British values;
Encourage responsibility for making personal decisions;
Celebrate achievement and special occasions; and,
Be tailored towards the age and experiences of the audience to develop pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) knowledge and understanding.
