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 body and in each individual.   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.
