• Promote ‘The Bournville Way’
• Provide Careers information and embed our employability skills
• Share opportunities for active citizenship
• Raise awareness and educate our pupils about Fundamental British Values/SMSC.
• Respond to any local issues as they arise
• Celebrate success and reward pupils for their effort and achievements
• Promote equality and celebrate diversity
• Raise awareness of local and national events and issues and discuss key topics areas in line with the PSHE curriculum (RE/Careers/RSHE)
Please find the 2025/26 assembly programme here
