Curriculum links
The Education Reform Act 1988 requires all schools (with provisions) to take part in a daily act of Collective worship which is 'wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character'. The Something to Think About approach to Collective Worship includes material from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds. The series also has numerous links to the PSHE / Citizenship curriculum at KS1 and is suitable for use in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
