ARISE Assemblies
ARISE assemblies help pupils think about fairness, racism and respect in an age- appropriate and engaging way. Delivered by Miss Lawton, the sessions combine storytelling, discussion and real-life experiences to encourage pupils to reflect on how they treat others and how they can stand up for what is right. Assemblies are tailored to different age groups so that the themes and discussions are appropriate for pupils at each stage of development.
