Ian and Evie talked about BSCWT which works in 32 primary, 7 secondary and 2 special schools. They have undertaken 60 assemblies this term. They also take lessons, organise lunch time and after school clubs, pupil support and prayer spaces in the schools. The trust have seven staff and many volunteers undertaking a wide range of roles. They seek to encourage partnerships between schools and churches. The majority of funding comes from churches and generous individuals. The It’s your move project has recently been undertaken with around 850 year 6 leavers across 25 schools. Evie explained that the sessions are structured around the changes, challenges and choices the the pupils face at a time of transition. Each pupil is also given a book printed by Scripture Union and funded by local churches.
At Shenfield High school they have been running ‘Life Space’, part of the school careers day for year 10 students. In primary schools they have also set up ‘Curiosity trails’ which are described as ‘pop-up outdoor prayer spaces’. More information about BSCWT can be found at
