--- title: "Assemblies Programme at Bolton" url: "https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/bolton-primary-curriculum/assemblies-programme-at-bolton" school: "Bolton Primary School" --- # Assemblies Programme **Assemblies** The whole school gathers together in the school hall for an assembly which includes an act of worship. An assembly can be a gathering without spiritual or religious content. At Bolton, assemblies will include some or all of the following: an opportunity to reflect on our aims and values; a chance to consider aspects of human life and the natural world; time to worship, pray or reflect and we aim to foster and explore sensitivity and respect to the beliefs of Christianity and other religions. We aim to ensure that children experience feelings such as “awe and wonder” during this time together - inspired by the world in which we live and that their curiosity is ignited. We have a range of assembly themes - some linked to the World Views and Religion Curriculum and PHSE. See our programme below. [**On Fridays, children enjoy a Celebration Assembly where we focus on children that have been displaying our values of Caring, Excelling, Enjoying and Inspiring and this is a chance to share any other achievements that they have accomplished out of school.** ](http://www.longmartoncommunityschool.co.uk/curriculum-mapping/) Throughout the week, children enter assemblies listening to different musical genres and they are given information about the artists and composers. This is to create the right ambiance for assembly and to mark it as a special time as well as to contribute to our music curriculum. We are also very proud that all our pupils have opportunities to prepare and deliver their own assemblies, either independently or in small groups on a theme of their choice e.g. Caring for your pet. News and World Assemblies also are part of our rota, where teachers highlight local or current affairs and global themes or crises. Occasionally, visitors are invited for assembly such as PCSO Karen Dakin on Road Safety and we welcome and encourage people willing to promote our values in anyway in an assembly - Caring, Excelling, Inspiring, Enjoying. On Wednesdays, in their own class groups children do either P4C (Philosophy for Children), Class Council or half-termly a behaviour and attitude workshop (or similar). If you do *not wish your child to take part in the daily collective worship*, please contact the headteacher, Mrs Ruth Elstone. ### 25/26 Assembly Programme YB Assembly Overview 2025 Autumn 64 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/YB_Assembly_Overview_2025_Autumn.pdf) ### 23/24 Assembly Programme YB Assembly Overview 2023 Autumn 84 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/YB_Assembly_Overview_2023_Autumn.pdf) YB Assembly Overview 2024 Spring 106 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/YB_Assembly_Overview_2024_Spring.pdf) YB Assembly Overview 2024 Summer 100 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/YB_Assembly_Overview_2024_Summer.pdf) ### 22/23 Assembly Programme Assembly Overview 2022 Autumn YA 74 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Assembly_Overview_2022_Autumn_YA.pdf) Assembly Overview 2023 Spring YA 98 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Assembly_Overview_2023_Spring_YA.pdf) Assembly Overview 2023 Summer YA 92 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Assembly_Overview_2023_Summer_YA.pdf) ### Positive Behaviour Themes 22/ 23 Positive Behaviour Yearly Plan 65 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Positive_Behaviour_Yearly_Plan.pdf) ### 21 22 Assembly Programme Assembly Overview 21 Autumn 125 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Assembly_Overview_21_Autumn.pdf) Assembly Overview 22 Spring 316 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Assembly_Overview_22_Spring.pdf) Assembly Overview 22 Summer 292 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Assembly_Overview_22_Summer.pdf) ### Weekly Positive Behaviour Themes 21/22 Positive Behaviour Yearly Plan 65 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/Positive_Behaviour_Yearly_Plan_(1).pdf) ### Curriculum -
