Did you know the UK is the only state in the world to impose Christian worship in all state schools?
You’ll hopefully have heard about our new legal case to challenge this – it’s featured on this morning’s Today programme, BBC News Online, and all the major newspapers. Now we have a special request… will you sign our petition calling for inclusive school assemblies for all children?
Current law requires all state-funded schools to conduct daily acts of ‘worship’. Even where the school is not religious, this ‘worship’ still must be Christian. This is clearly wrong and needs to change.
Non-religious pupils are forced to spend prolonged periods of the school day without meaningful educational activity – simply because they do not hold Christian beliefs.
We're calling on the Government to end compulsory worship and require all schools to conduct inclusive assemblies, promoting the development of all pupils equally, regardless of their backgrounds.
Tell the Government: replace compulsory worship with inclusive assemblies for all. Sign the petition →
