I get the distinct impression that our headteacher didn't give too much of a toss about religion
Some of the teachers did but the headteacher seemed - well, not normal, I think she's probably one of the more eccentric people in the village, but at least very rational and inclined towards education rather than indoctrination. I think ours was one of the few primary schools in the area where even utter idiots came out able to read, write, more or less spell, and add up. I know that doesn't sound like much of a claim to fame, but it genuinely is.
I didn't mind Assembly every week. Pretend to sing a song, sit there not listening for twenty minutes or so, go into class. I honestly cannot remember what they were about. Maybe that's where all the religion stuff was dumped...

Most of the teachers seemed not to give a rat's arse; it was all about the job, I guess.
The supply teachers were something to behold though; some of the most bat-shit crazy, and in a way, scariest people you could ever hope to meet. I could see why they weren't proper teachers, I'll say that much.
Assembly wasn't *too* much of a hassle, but I just felt like I could have been doing other stuff in the time being, because I wasn't learning much about... well, anything.

You were learning how to deal with tedious meetings that are keeping you from doing anything else
Vital preparation for a working life.
