Open the Book Whole School Collective Worship

Children love stories – especially Bible stories when they’re interactive, engaging and fun.

"Open the Book began in 1999 and since then thousands of school children have discovered Bible stories, during assembly and collective worship.

Open the Book is so important. It’s a programme of themed and dramatised storytelling. Teams of volunteers throughout the country use drama, mime, props, costume – and even the children and staff themselves – to present the Bible stories in lively and informative ways."

At St John's School, members of the church community deliver Open the Book assemblies, which are enjoyed by both staff and pupils.
