Collective Worship
Taking part in School Radio's Collective Worship programmesSchool Radio offers two Collective Worship series, one for infants and one for juniors. In each you'll find stories, a song to join in with, opportunities for reflection and prayer - often led by children themselves - and plenty of other interaction.

Both series may be used to help schools fulfil the statutory requirements regarding Collective Worship. The approach of each is to use material from a wide range of cultural and religious sources, to ensure that programmes will be relevant to as many groups as possible. The programmes also link to other non-statutory areas of the curriculum including PSHE and Citizenship.

The aim is to provide assemblies which are pupil-centred, relate to children's own experience and are relevant to children's concerns while exploring a wide range of moral, spiritual and religious issues celebrating the different social, cultural and religious backgrounds of the audience.
