Collective Worship

Collective Worship guidance

The Guidance includes sections on: the legal requirements; definitions of SMSC (social, moral, spiritual and cultural development ) which Ofsted use for their school inspections, creating a whole-school policy; planning successful collective worship including half termly planning sheets; reflection and prayer; the use of visitors; monitoring collective worship by gathering evidence from staff and pupils; whole school evaluation; suggested themes and ideas; dates, events and festivals through the school year; useful web resources; and the Peterborough Agreed Scheme for seeking a determination.

Collective Worship Scheme of Determination

Schools have a legal responsibility to offer collective worship each day. Should they consider this is not appropriate they can request the SACRE to determine whether this should be relaxed.
