Launch of The Difference for Primary Schools

Joanne Evans, the DBE’s Services to Schools Officer was at Lambeth Palace this week for the formal launch of the Difference for Primary Schools. Already being delivered in churches, prisons and secondaries schools, this free suite of resources will help your school navigate an increasingly complex world, inspired by Jesus to embrace difference and champion a culture of hope and empathy.

We will be delivering a workshop for you (or a colleague) to lead this in your school at the forthcoming Headteacher and Parish Partners’ Conference on Tuesday 18th November at Ardencote Manor Hotel. Do book your place here.

Each primary school attending will also receive a free copy of ‘Heroes of Hope’ written by Revd Dr Sharon Prentis, Alysia-Lara Ayonrinde. This book, for children aged 8 to11 years, celebrates the achievements of Christians of global majority heritage who lived out their faith and made a positive difference in their communities and beyond. Their stories of courage, determination, and faith, along with eye-catching illustrations, will inspire pupils to recognize the power of faith and the potential within themselves to influence those around them positively.

This latest in the Grove Education series, designed to be read in an hour, is written by Des Ricketts-Chu a head teacher at a Church of England primary school in a deprived area of the West Midlands..

Start of Term Message from Revd April Gold

Welcome Back!

Dear friends it is lovely to be able to write and welcome you back to a new school year, and to welcome some new colleagues. In particular we welcome:

David Briggs the new CEO at Fosse MAT , Jenny Mitchell-Hilton at Kineton CofE Primary and  Alex Whiting and Hannah Young at Wilmcote CofE Primary, Head of School and Executive Head respectively.

I hope that over the next few months you will take a bit of time to reach out to your local neighbours in the Diocesan family to support and learn from each other.

I attended the Inspire Education Trust staff conference on Tuesday and came away Inspired (pun intended) by the focus on how we educate the current cohort of students to face a world of uncertainty and still be able to thrive. This 2 min trailer was particularly thought provoking and I hope you will find it helpful as you think about your purposes as lead educators.

The film resonates with our Alive 2023 “World Changers” theme and I know that many of you have continued to look for ways to enable your children and young people to exercise courageous advocacy through Global Neighbours, Climate committees and Young Leader’s awards. You may want to think about getting involved with Future Council. Do share these stories with us, it is always inspiring to hear stories of children being agents of change and proving that education is the tool by which we will create a world of equality, inclusion and justice.

Do get in touch if we can be of help in any way or you just want to share something exciting or need a listening ear, we are all in this journey together.

Many Blessings,

April

 

A prayer for the new school year…

Gracious and Loving God,

We come before you today with anticipation and hope for the new academic year.

We thank you for the wonder of our minds, bodies, and spirits, and for the gifts of learning and discovery.

Bless all children and young people as they begin this new school year.

Develop in them wisdom and strength, and fill their minds with knowledge. Inspire them with a passion for learning and the curiosity to ask good questions.

Keep them safe during their school days, and help them to build kind and respectful friendships with their peers.

We pray for all the teachers, support staff, and wider MAT and LA teams. Thank you for their dedication and for the gifts they share with our children. Grant them patience, creativity, and the wisdom to see the unique potential in every student.

Strengthen them when they feel weary, and remind them of the lasting difference they are making.

Bless the parents and caregivers who support our children and young people. Release them from their fears and anxieties, and grant them the grace and patience needed to guide their children.

May our schools be places where love, joy, and peace flourish.

Help us to see your love in those around us and to make the most of every new opportunity.

 We ask all this in Your name,

Amen.

School News

Matthew Parker, Head of School at Wolvey CofE Primary writes:

“As part of GRT (Gypsy, Roma and Traveller) History Month, Wolvey CofE Primary School joined with another local school and representatives from Warwickshire County Council, including the fire and police services, to take part in an inspiring celebration held at the Police HQ. The theme this year was “Who Inspires Us?”—a perfect opportunity for our children to explore stories of resilience, courage and achievement from the GRT community and beyond.

Our pupils engaged in a range of creative activities, including art, music and craft workshops. Each activity helped deepen their understanding of different cultures and celebrate the diverse contributions of the GRT community. Roadshows showcased learning from many schools across the county, and we were proud to see our children’s voices and artwork represented.

This event reflected our school vision beautifully: “Embracing equality and experiencing excellence.” In a world where every child matters, it was a joy to see pupils living out our core values of kindness, friendship and respect. As Galatians 3:28 reminds us, “Among us you are all equal,” and this celebration reminded us of the power of inclusion and the importance of standing together to learn, love and grow.”

An End of Year Meesage from Andy Wolfe Executive Director of Education for the National Society for Education

As we reach the end of the academic year, we want first to thank you for all your incredible work this year serving your communities and enabling adults and children to flourish across your organisations. There will no doubt have been many challenges along the way, but also I hope, many glimpses of young people growing, learning, serving and leading – precious moments to take into a well earned summer rest! As ever it’s easy to end the term thinking of all the things that have not been done, or perhaps that haven’t gone as well as hoped – but let’s all take a moment to reflect on the journey travelled this year, and the gratitude we can find when we consider that journey together.

 

Hope you have a restful and restorative summer break!

On Friday 27th June, 70 year-6 children and 15 staff from across the Fosse MAT gathered for the annual sleepover Jamboree at Tredington. iSingPOP had worked across all the schools the previous week and then on the day the children came together in song and dance for a main event concert.

They then participated in intra school sports competitions followed by a pizza and salad dinner with doughnuts. Finally they all toasted marshmallows on a camp fire before a very late bedtime!

Helen Gibson, the DBE’s Governance Officer had  privilege to attend the tea party held at Barford St Peter’s CofE Primary School on Friday 4 July to celebrate Ann Fawcett’s amazing 50 years’ service as Foundation Governor at the school.

We are in awe of the time and commitment Ann has given to the school over the years. She has been extremely dedicated in ensuring strong links between the school and the church and in the absence of a vicar, leads school services held in church. Her Christian vision for the school has never faltered.

Pupil Voice Summer Term 2025 – Results

A big thank you to the schools that contributed to the DBE pupil voice exercise using the easy ‘smart school council’ link. Back in April the DBE asked the question:

What does it Feel Like to Pray?

 These were the voting results from both primary and secondary groups:

Question Options

  1. It’s just you and God – 6 votes
  2. A peaceful time – 9 votes – the winning vote
  3. Like listening to yourself – 5 votes
  4. I’m not sure, I don’t really do it – 7 votes
  5. Other – share your own answer to this question – 1 vote

 

These children associate prayer with a peaceful time and a time to connect with both themselves and also God. The DBE will be using this insight to develop resources to suport spritiual developement and the development of reflective spaces.

 

Coventry DBE Officially Partners with Christian Aid

School News

Pupils from All Saints’ CofE Junior in Warwick joined a global congregation at Westminster Abbey, for a special service to mark the 80th anniversary of international development agency Christian Aid.

The event involved some 2,000 guests, from staff and supporters, to church leaders and charity partners from around the world, who came together to reflect on achievements of the past eight decades, give thanks, and recommit to the charity’s mission to end global poverty.

Headteacher, Sandra Sutherland, said: “We were delighted to be invited to participate in this special service, in recognition of our success in achieving the Gold Level of Christian Aid’s ‘Global Neighbours’ award. We travelled to London with all of the children in Year 4 for this inspiring opportunity; they had previously completed a virtual learning session and tour which helped them to appreciate the grandeur and magnificence of the Abbey.”

The school was accompanied by their newly appointed vicar, Sharon, who will start her role in the autumn term. A wonderful experience for the children and memorable to be part of the atmosphere outside, after the service, while the bells of Westminster Abbey sounded. They even managed to get a ‘selfie’ with Revd Kate Bottley, who was doing one of the readings!

 

Want Your Middle Leaders to Flourish in Their Role? Sign Them Up to the DBE’s Online Middle Leaders Programme for Next Academic Year

 Designed to support those with middle leadership roles in Church schools in Coventry Diocese to consider how to lead with Christian distinctiveness and to support them in becoming the leader they want to be.

The tow year programme is free as part of the Diocesan Service Agreement and uses a blend of online self-directed sessions with touching base meetings facilitated by Jen Jenkins, the DBE’s RE, SIAMS and Spirituality Officer,

 Many of the previous participants have gone on to senior positions and Headships in CofE schools, armed with more confidence and knowledge about leading Christian Education. Here is what some of them have said…

It has been the most supportive and uplifting course I’ve ever been on…

 I really have learnt so much over the past 2 years, and feel like a stronger, more capable leader as a result of your guidance.

Is this a leadership course? Yes, but its USP for me is that it has helped thoughtfully determine (with compassion) the type of leader I want to be and reaffirmed the ethical direction that I want to go in. Sometimes it is easy to get lost in the details of everyday life within an educational environment. This two-year course has been my anchor, threading through, it’s been there when I’ve needed it the most, often when I didn’t realise I needed it. Jen’s approach is one of care, gentle probing and ultimately facilitating a safe, reflective space in which to flourish. I highly recommend this course and its reading list!

Revd Kate Massey Installation

Staff and pupils from St Paul’s CofE Primary, Nuneaton were at Coventry Cathedral on Sunday to take part in the Installation of Revd Kate Massey in her new role as Canon for Arts and Reconciliation. The pupils led prayers during the service.

Revd Kate has been a familiar face around the school and an integral part in growing the close link with the parish church. She will be greatly missed by staff and pupils alike.

 

Request for Senior Leaders from Jen Jenkins

Jen is looking to speak with senior leaders who have been purposefully cultivating an aspect of prayer in their school life. This might be one of the following:

  • A dedicated prayer space(s) in school (indoors or outdoors)
  • Use of prayer resources in school
  • Work on prayer in partnership with the local church e.g. prayer stations in the church for pupils to visit
  • Development of prayer(s) linked to the school’s Christian vision
  • Use of prayer in the school day
  • The role of prayer in your spirituality model

Please email Jen (mailto:jennifer.jenkins@coventrydbe.org) to either share your work or arrange a short Teams meeting to chat about it. The purpose of this is to celebrate your work on prayer, collate a repository of ideas and resources on prayer and continue to offer CPD and resources that will support this aspect of Christian distinctiveness.

 

RE Leads Celebration Event

RE Leads gathered at Red Hill Christian Centre yesterday to celebrate the end of one year of implementing the New RE Agreed Syllabus. They gave their thoughts at creative reflection stations, shared books and good practice and then enjoyed a cream tea together.

Thank you to all the teachers and leaders who have worked hard, and continue to refine the RE curriculum in their schools to help their pupils flourish. We are seeing such great evidence that the worldviews approach is transforming engagement and improving teaching and learning for both pupils and staff.

Installation of Bishop Sophie Jelley

The Right Reverend Sophie Jelley, the tenth Bishop of Coventry, was welcomed by three young people from schools in the diocese as her installation service began and hundreds of people from Coventry and Warwickshire gathered in Coventry Cathedral on Saturday.

Bishop Sophie stood at the entrance to the cathedral whilst two young people, one from Barrs Hill School and another from Bluecoat CofE School asked her who she was and why she has come. She answered “I am Sophie, a servant of Christ, called to be a bishop in the Church of God. I come in faith and obedience, to share in the life of this diocese and to walk with the people of God in this place.”

The cathedral bells rang and a choir of children from local schools sang as dignitaries including MPs, council and business leaders assembled for the service. The schools were All Saint’s CofE Primary, Clifford Bridge Academy

Frederick Bird Academy, Hearsall Community Academy, Walsgrave CofE Academy, Whittle Academy, St John’s CE Academy and St Laurence’s CE Primary.

During the service, Bishop Jelley took oaths of allegiance and obedience before receiving the Diocesan Crozier – a curved staff – from the High Altar where it was placed by her predecessor when he left in 2023.

She gave her inaugural sermon before enjoying a performance of Sing, written by Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber, from the combined schools choir. A big thank you  to Rob Darling Deputy CEO from Inspire Education Trust for organising that.

The bishop was then presented with symbolic gifts representative of the diocese’s heritage, including a jar of honey from a local farmer and a goose quill from Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

Bishop Jelley, who is married and has three grown-up children, said on her appointment she looked forward to sharing “the story of God’s love with the people of Coventry and Warwickshire”.

Two Primary Schools Needed to Pilot ‘Difference for Primary Schools’ in our Diocese

The Church of England Education Office are developing ‘Difference for Primary Schools’ – a free multi-session resource that will equip pupils with the formational habits to cross divides, navigate disagreement, pursue justice, and encounter others well. It is already successfully embedded in church youth groups and secondary schools.

 

It will be launched in our Diocese at the Headteachers’ and Parish Partners Conference in November and the DBE is keen to hear from primaries that would be interested in being early-adopters. This would involve undertaking some training and piloting it in your school. A fantastic project for one of your middle leaders?

This Term’s DBE Pupil Voice Question…

A big thank you to those schools and pupils who have already contributed to the DBE’s Pupil Voice question this term. 😊

If you would like to take part, it’s very easy! We are using the ‘Smart Schools Council’ programme to email this question for your pupils to answer:

 “What does it feel like to pray?”

  • This is designed to be led by pupils and there is no additional work for the teacher, or software to download.
  • This could be done with the worship council, school council, a lunchtime/after school club or a whole class. (Suggest year 5/6/7).
  • The session includes a 3 min video clip, and discussion can be as long or as short as you like (so around 10-20 mins).
  • There is a stimulus (video), discussion time and a multiple choice vote. There is an another slide for your notetaker to make additional comments – please do get the children to do this if there is time!

Thanks and do let us know what you think! We’ll feed back on the results in due course.
