From the Broadfield Community Primary School
All students in schools are required to participate in a daily act of group worship under the School Standards and Framework Act of 1988 in England and Wales. Additionally, according to the Act, the majority of these acts of communal worship must have "a completely or largely Christian character." Schools can request a Determination to Change the Arrangements for Collective Worship because the faith demographic of the pupils makes it inappropriate for collective worship to be 'broadly Christian'. If such a request is approved by SACRE, a Determination to Change the Arrangements for Collective Worship is granted which then applies for five years from the date of approval. Determination has been given to Broadfield Community Primary School after discussions with parents and governors.
