Religious Studies and Collective Worship
There are many different religions worshiped in school, such as Sikhism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and various denominations of Christianity.
Collective worship at the school is of a broadly Christian nature: there are prayers in whole-school assembly, and thoughts for the day in form, house and year assembly. However, pupils and teachers can opt out of these assemblies, or Religious Studies, on religious grounds.

“The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“For decades to come the spy world will continue to be the collective couch where the subconscious of each nation is confessed.”
—John le Carré (b. 1931)

—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
