“That was the best assembly EVER!”
Year 1 boy after Psalm 139 Moving On assembly
Oliver’s Battery Primary School, Winchester
We regularly visit West Meon Church of England Primary School. SIAMS inspectors observed one of our assemblies. Their SIAMS report (September 2023) reads:
“Collective worship is enhanced through effective partnerships within the diocese. Pupils respond to lively worship which encourages questioning and reflecting upon biblical stories. This increases pupil knowledge of the Bible in meaningful ways.”
“We really enjoy our visits from Christ Church, thank you. The children always speak so highly of the assemblies, they love the drama sessions and the songs especially.”

What we are about…
Christ Church Schools Team aim to support Primary and Secondary Schools in delivering assemblies / Collective Worship and R:E.
Our assemblies/Collective Worship which are Christian in nature, are fast-moving, magazine-style which are fun, high energy and high quality. All of our assemblies have been trialled in multiple schools in the Winchester area.
During Covid-19 we were unable to schools in person, the Christ Church Schools Team produced online assembly videos for schools to use. We are now back in schools sharing our assemblies / Collect Worship with over 4000 children, 7 times a year.
Assembly scripts and videos
As well as visiting local primary schools to deliver our assemblies, we also upload our scripts for others to use. During Covid-19 we recorded our assemblies and this are available to watch online.
