At Bassett Green Primary School, we believe that collective worship has the potential to be the beating heart of the school community.

Collective worship is about a school’s duty to develop pupils spiritually, morally, socially and culturally. This may include learning about interesting cultural traditions and their meaning, listening to stories with a moral message and reflecting on themes such as strength, courage or loyalty.  It draws pupils attention to the values we as a school wish to develop, both as a collective and as individuals.  Collective worship is about the growth of the person, their character and social outlook, whatever their academic ability. 

We believe that this benefits our children in a number of ways:

• Encourages respect, understanding and tolerance for their peers and community.
• Celebration of ultimate worth  engaging with the bigger picture.
• Asking and exploring the big questions. Knowing that others ask them too. 
• Being part of something bigger than them, shared with others but personal to them.
•  It could be the thing they remember that changes their lives.
