Assemblies
Assemblies are held every day and are non-denominational.
They may take place in the classroom or school hall. There
is a Key Stage assembly every week and a whole school
assembly every week. They play an important role in developing
a community feeling. They are concerned mainly with the
development of attitudes and relationships and the rights and
responsibilities of being a member of society. We sometimes
have visitors in our assemblies who share important messages.
Once every week, one or two children from every class receive
a Certificate of Achievement at our Achievers Assembly. These
are presented for good work, good behaviour or sustained
effort. Each class presents a Class Assembly once a year.
Parents, carers, brothers, sisters and friends are welcome to
attend all these assemblies. We have an annual attendance
and achievement assembly to celebrate these areas, which
Governors and Parents attend. We also have a leavers assembly
for our Year 6 children.
If parents wish, their children can be excused from religious
education at school. They should write to the HeadTeacher with
this request and with any request for their child to be absent from
school during the day to receive particular religious instruction.
Sex Education
Until the final year here, there are no formal sex education
lessons. Parents are informed of the content of these at the
time. In the early years, Teachers use their discretion to answer
children’s questions honestly. If you wish to inspect our policy on
sex education, please speak to the HeadTeacher.
