Mr Laurence Robertson – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mr Laurence Robertson on 2014-03-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the number of schools in (a) England and (b) Gloucestershire which carry out collective acts of Christian worship each day; what proportion those schools form of the total number of schools which are required to do so; and if he will make a statement.

Elizabeth Truss

All publicly funded maintained schools in England remain legally required to provide a daily act of worship for all registered pupils up to age 18 and the Government has no plans to change this. It does not, however,collect data on school provision in this area.
