Embracing Change
This report sets out the context and challenges for small and rural schools. It discusses two main questions: what do we need to have in order to deliver an excellent 21st Century education and equip children to flourish? And how does the current distribution of Church of England schools serve God's mission? (2018)
Church of England Vision for Education: Deeply Christian, Serving the Common Good
This is a fresh articulation of the Church of England’s vision for education; a vision that is deeply Christian, with the promise by Jesus of ‘life in all its fullness’ at its heart. This is worked out theologically and educationally through four basic elements: wisdom, hope, community, and dignity (2016).
Unlocking Gifts
The Unlocking Gifts Project, funded by the Jerusalem Trust, offered schools the opportunity to generate ideas on how to focus resources on relatively simple programmes to make a difference to the most disadvantaged groups. This report shows how nine different projects were able to help pupils to achieve, be the best they can be, flourish and have ‘life in all its fullness' (2016).
