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.
