Religious Education And Collective Worship

Each day contains a collective act of worship for all pupils. Whilst this act of worship is of a mainly Christian character we do take into account the teaching and practises of other religions. Acknowledging our church school status, assemblies are often led by the minister of The Holy Ascension and also the minister of the United Reform Church. Children experience the act of worship in church once a term.

Infants and Juniors hold a separate assembly in order to facilitate their respective needs. The whole school gathers together once a week to share their work and experiences with their peers. This assembly may be either infant led or junior led.

Each class teacher is responsible for R. E. lessons. The children study many aspects of Christianity as well other world religions throughout the course of the year.

We respect the rights of the parents wishes when, for any reason, they wish to withdraw their child from assemblies or R. E. lessons.
