Collective Worship

Collective worship in Church of England schools must reflect the school’s Trust Deed or ethos statement. Invariably this requires schools to provide worship which is in accordance with Christianity and, in particular, with Anglican practice.

The Board of Education provides guidelines for collective worship and for school self-evaluation of worship.

You can link from this page to web sites providing acts of collective worship for schools. The National Society site is specifically for Church schools, whereas others, such as the Assemblies Website, Culham and Teachernet are for all.
