It is our aim to develop the whole child through our assembly programme. We use assemblies as a further opportunity to talk to children about our character values and our school motto 'Together we can make a difference'.

We invite people in from the community such as the police, the fire service, the canals and rivers trust, various charities and the NSPCC to talk to the children about keeping safe. Assemblies will pick up on issues that are important locally, nationally and world wide. 

We celebrate and mark a range of festivals and important events across the year.

We also like to showcase different curriculum subjects throughout the year.

Weekly class assemblies allow teachers to focus on the needs of their classes and provide an opportunity to teach about respect and manners through our R Time programme. 

During the year, each class will invite families in to be part of an assembly with them. 

Each term we have themes that provide a focus for our assemblies.
