The Great Get Together will be taking place across the country this weekend (16th-18th June), and we are encouraging schools to take part with a special school assembly on Friday 16th June.  Inspired by MP Jo Cox, who was tragically murdered last year, The Great Get Together aims to bring together communities, neighbours, pupils and friends to share and celebrate all that we hold in common.

The PSHE Association is delighted to have developed teacher guidance and classroom activities to support these assemblies. These and other materials – including assembly packs and PowerPoints (for pre-school, primary, secondary and sixth-form) and a video – are now available on the schools page of the Great Get Together website.

If you are taking part, please let the Great Get Together team know what your school is planning.  Additionally, you can use the hashtags #MoreInCommon and #GreatGetTogether on the day, or email hello@greatgettogether.org to let the team know how you get on.
