This year in our school, pupils will attend one assembly each week which should include an act of CW. The other 4 days they are in form time. Form tutors know they are supposed to lead/facilitate an act of worship in the classroom and they have received considerable amounts of inset time to support them in this. I also provide a prayer for each day. In all honesty, many do not do prayer at all, some do it sometimes and a few are brilliant and creative. I imagine this is a similar pattern in many schools. In our lest Section 48 inspection the chap commented that much of our CW is 'done to pupils rather than by them'. I think this stung our head who had only been in post for one week at the time. So, I have been asked to lead a twilight inset next week (nothing like giving someone time is there!) for 27 KS3 form tutors and HOYs on 'Developing pupil participation in collective worship'.
In most forms, particularly the lower school, there are lovely individuals who will volunteer to read and there are some who will write prayers with a bit of support. the tricky bit is how to convince staff that they should be allowing/encouraging their pupils to create and/or lead the worship rather than sir or miss simply reading out what I have written. We all know it is easier for us to take that role of adult standing at the front, get the prayer read out and move on but we also know, without inspectors telling us, that it is far from ideal.
I spent much of this afternoon wracking my brains and trawling the net for inspiration. I have come up with a few small ideas but having led numerous insets on CW already these are certainly the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel.
What I'd love to know is how much classroom CW in your school is prepared and/or led by pupils, who guides them in its preparation and whether you have any pearls of wisdom I can cast before my audience next week (any apparent oblique reference to our staff being swine is not intentional, apart from the cynical bloke in the english dept!).

Just wondering what you are all doing for Fairtrade Fortnight? We're struggling a bit with the Step resources and thinking of using the Cafod Water stuff instead but alongside selling FT chocolate and hot choc. We hope to make loads of the Cafod droplets and use them for a display at the end of term Mass before sending them off.
Also am looking for an outline for the game of life simulation (not the board game) - can anyone help please?
