How to…approach a school
So you’re a Christian parent or maybe a church member who would like to approach your local school and offer some support.
But whom do you approach? The Head Teacher? Another staff member? For some good advice, written by Scottish headteachers and others who know Scottish schools well, go to

- What could you offer that the school would find helpful? Again, the Serve Your Local School site really is the best place to go. Also, have a look at the CVE Case Studies for examples of how churches have supported local schools (e.g. “Look into the Soup Pot”, “It’s Free – Bible Resources” and “Bringing the Bible Alive in Primary schools“)
– If you’re a church member wanting to motivate fellow members and understand what might be possible, go to https://www.syls.org.uk/get-started/a-church-audit.html This provides a really good Church Audit Tool which will help you develop your approach further. There are also some good ideas in the Case Studies in “It’s Happening!” on this website.
