Overview

There are a number of possible ways of using the Assembling Citizens database of assembly outlines. The bank of outlines can either be used at random, selecting an outline for a subject area that you want to cover, or you can search for, list and select assemblies systematically, following a theme at one of the age ranges.

Used systematically, Assembling Citizens could form the basis of a whole school or year group assembly plan, featuring issues related to personal development and active citizenship.

The content of Assembling Citizens is organised under eight themes. Six of these link directly with topics taught within PSHE and citizenship. They are:

• Self
• Relationships
• Healthy Lifestyle
• Environment
• Citizens and Politics
• Active Citizens

The two additional themes are:

• Special Occasions
• Current Affairs

Each theme has six subthemes as shown below.

Themes and Subthemes
Self	Relationships	Healthy Lifestyle	Environment	Citizenship and Politics	Active Citizens	Special Occasions	Current Affairs
Self Awareness	Communication	Personal Health	Appreciation	Citizens	The just society	Autumn	Subthemes will be created to suit the items added
Self Esteem	Friendship	Mental Health	Responsibility	Democracy	Getting involved	Christmas
Self Development	Family	Physical Health	Harmony	Voting and accountability	Character and integrity	Spring
Self Assessment	Peers	Spiritual Health	Development	Difference and diversity	Media	Easter
Self Management	Valuing Others	Emotional Health	Restoration	The rule of law	Community action	Summer
Self Dependence	Relationship Skills	Sexual Health	Sustainability	The just society	Global issues	Others

For each subtheme, there are two assembly outlines, one for KS3/ages 11-14 and one for KS4/ages 14-16+. It is planned that the content will triple over a period of two years. (See illustration below.) Once the three layers of content are in place, most topics taught within PSHE and citizenship will have been visited, and sometimes also revisited as in a spiral curriculum. Once the basic content is in place, the site will continue to grow as assembly outlines are added to supplement the basic content.



Current affairs assembly outlines will be added at weekly intervals during term time and may be deleted as they become dated.
