We aim to provide and facilitate Christian and community input to the learning experience of children and young people in schools. Our involvement is tailored to the needs of each school.
We have a wide range of experience, and regularly lead assemblies, RE & PHSE lessons, mentoring, School Transition sessions, workshops and clubs in both Primary and Secondary Schools.
Over the last 35 years, we have developed strong partnerships with schools; this alongside positive relationships with pupils and staff, is a core value for us.

school transition
The transition between primary and secondary school brings a range of emotions for Year 6 students.
We offer lessons and mentoring support to schools, that explore the social and emotional elements of this change, and help develop practical skills that will be of benefit in Year 7. Each student receives a free book that supports their move to secondary school.
Christmas & Easter workshops
These sessions are predominantly run for Year 5 or 6 students. Through these fun and interactive sessions, students have opportunity to consider these festivals, reflect on their own thoughts and experiences, and understand the meaning and significance for Christians and the Christian faith.
These workshops are normally held in a church within walking distance of the school, and last 90 minutes.

Mentoring
‘ We have been very fortunate as a school over the last term to benefit from the ‘Grow and Show’ mentoring program … I cannot recommend this program enough or explain how truly beneficial it has been for the children … The children are all very excited to go out and take part and seem to have a sense that what they are doing will help them as they move forward in their future. We have seen evidence of what the children are working on being transferred into class and other situations and all the children have been excited to talk to their class teachers about what they have been working on. With support of this nature being rare we are very grateful to be taking part … ‘ (SENCO, Primary School)
