🏫 Assembly Overview at Petteril Bank Primary School
At Petteril Bank Primary School, our assemblies are a vital part of school life. They bring our community together to celebrate learning, explore values, and deepen pupils’ understanding of the world around them. Each week follows a structured plan that supports our curriculum, promotes British Values, and encourages pupil voice.
🎶 Weekly Entrance Music
Each week begins with a carefully chosen entrance song that introduces pupils to a variety of musical genres and sets the tone for the week. From classical and jazz to reggae and musical theatre, our music choices reflect diversity and creativity.
