At Howden Junior School, we believe that assemblies are an integral part of our school ethos and allows us, as a school, to provide a cohesive way to:
- Reinforce the strong sense of community in our school and the wider environment
- Share our whole school values
- Contemplate ourselves and our place in the world with reference to current global events
- Contemplate our beliefs(both spiritual and moral) and explore the beliefs of others
- Share in and celebrate the wonder and diversity of the world in which we live
- Make links to our curriculum and reinforce spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
