Statutory Duty of School
All maintained schools provide daily collective worship for registered pupils (apart from those who have been withdrawn by their parents). This is usually provided within a daily assembly.
The Headteacher is responsible (under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998) for arranging the daily collective worship after consulting with the governing body. Daily collective worship must be wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character. The precise nature will depend on the family background, ages and abilities of the pupils.
Implementation
Collective worship, whether in assembly or tutor time, will:
- Be acceptable to the whole community, staff and pupils
- Include a variety of elements at different times
- Involve the pupils
Contribution to wider learning
- Spiritual development
- Moral development
- Social development
- Cultural development
Monitoring, Evaluation and Review
The school will review this policy annually and assess its implementation and effectiveness. The policy will be promoted and implemented throughout the school. |
