(asked on 19th November 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government, following the Supreme Court's ruling in JR87 [2025] UKSC 40, what assessment they have made of the statutory requirements on collective worship in schools in England and Wales.
This question was answered on 2nd December 2025
Education is a devolved matter and as such this reply relates to England only.
The legislative framework for providing collective worship is different in England than in Northern Ireland. The Supreme Court ruling has only recently been published and the department will consider it carefully.
