Connecting with your local school

This resource helps you connect your school work with church life and invite families into your worshipping community. It includes practical guides, missional ideas, discipleship pathways, and resources to support church–school partnerships.

How to use

This resource is designed to help you connect your school work with church-based events and explore ways to invite school families into your worshipping community. It begins by guiding you through the Why, How, and What of school connections, helping you align this with your church’s wider vision and strategy—including areas like creating a discipleship pathway. You’ll then find a series of practical “How-To” guides, such as setting up a prayer space or starting a book group, along with additional resources from other organisations and dioceses.
