    @LanchesterEP

  • We have used the Talents section this week. The children left the assembly and told their teachers about it – a first for one of my assemblies!!!! Thank you so much.

    Diane Chisholm (Southdown Primary School, Flintshire)

  • I usually pay the supply cost for two members of staff to take one day off timetable to plan our collective worship for the year. This resource is well planned and clear, saving us time and money. Thank you.

  • If you are anything like me preparing an assembly every morning can be a lot of additional workload- I am now using Simply Collective Worship, it’s easy to use and the children love them.

  • Simply Collective Worship is a wonderful resource and guide to schools and it ensures the school is working together.

  • One of the only resources on the market that provides a plan for everyday of the week. This makes planning and sharing plans amongst different teachers so much easier and results in themes being unpacked systematically across a week or half term.

  • I think you have written a brilliant resource here, not just because we have a whole week on a theme but also as I believe all the adults in the school can take life thoughts from them too - it has made our collective worship or thought for the day sessions a real time for reflection for all - thank you.

    Catherine Howarth (Head Teacher, Ysgol Lixwm, Flintshire, North Wales)

  • An excellent, easy to use which is so relevant to the spiritual needs of the children in our schools today - highly recommended!
