Webinar – Planning & Leading Collective Worship
This is free of charge to schools signing up to the Partnership Agreement and £25 for other schools.
The webinar is led by Debbie Yeomans who until recently was a Leading RE Teacher for the DBE and Collective Worship Lead at St Margarat’s CE Primary in Stoke Golding. Debbie now works for RE Today and continues to support our schools.
Collective Worship Briefings
Once a term, the DBE will lead a free CW briefing to introduce themes and topics to discuss in breakout rooms and teachers and leaders from schools will share their experiences. This is to create a collaborative space for Collective Worship and to ensure all schools feel supported. The topics that will be explored in each briefing are listed below. Collective Worship leading teachers will then lead one local networking each term to share ideas and resources in a smaller group, with schools that are in the same Minster community locations. Leading teachers will feedback to the DBE and share resources from their local group, so they can be shared for everyone on the DBE website. The resources and leading teacher information can be found here.
