At Barrowby CE Primary School, your child will be used to taking part in collective worship every day (they might call it ‘assembly’).
Acts of Collective Worship help the children come to terms with the world in which they live and are planned to be:
We enjoy close links with our parish church. All Saints’, Barrowby Church Ministers take worship, participate in classroom teaching and regularly visit the school. The children are familiar with our church through end of term services and festivals as well as using the church as part of their local studies in R.E. and History.
Arrangements for the act of Collective Worship and for Religious Education are made by the school in accordance with the requirements of the 1944 Education Act and the Education Reform Act 1988.
Parents may, if they wish, withdraw their children from the arrangements for worship.
Any such requests should be made in writing to the Headteacher.
We set very high standards and expectations in terms of behaviour and attitudes at Barrowby CE Primary School. This is based on our Core Values Creativity, Respect and Independence and encourages politeness and care for other people, and for their property.
We aim to develop self-discipline, hard work, positive attitudes and good manners, to create a happy and successful learning environment.
We believe that praise and encouragement in achievements will foster, nurture and maintain high standards of discipline. On occasion your children will bring home Barrowby CE Primary School Commendations, Certificates and reward stickers as a tangible acknowledgement of their efforts and achievements.
