School Assemblies
Every Monday morning, and the first morning of each full term, we have our Whole School Assembly 9:20-10am.
The Primary School Assembly is on Friday mornings 9:15-9:45am.
​
The Secondary School Assembly and PSHE lessons are during Period 4 on Fridays 12:20-12:50pm
​
All our assemblies will start with a time of singing praise and worship to the Lord, followed by Biblical teaching on various subjects. The Primary school will celebrate the children's achievements with the issuing of that week's merit certificates. Our Years 10 and 11 pupils have the opportunity to lead worship and teach individually, or as a class, in both the Whole School Assembly as well as the Secondary School Assembly.
