Assemblies

School Assemblies

At West Wycombe School we encourage all our children to feel part of the community; not just the school, but the wider local, national and world community. Assemblies provide the children and staff with the opportunity to explore our role within these communities and to celebrate the achievements of individuals and groups within the school. Sometimes, speakers will be invited to the school to address the children on a particular subject. Assemblies also provide the forum for children to discuss spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues.

Assemblies take three times a week.  Typical weekly assemblies are as follows:

Monday:

Headteacher Assembly

Wednesday:    

Singing Practice

Friday:           

Our Celebration Assembly, at which individual achievements are announced

Assemblies are the heart of our school; a time where we come together and celebrate each other and our values.

Information from the NSPCC: Developed in consultation with children, parents, carers and teachers, Talk PANTS is here to help children understand their body belongs to them, and they should tell a safe adult they trust if anything makes them feel upset or worried.
