How To Survive working in a Church School

This book is for everyone who works in a Church of England or Church in Wales school - support staff, site managers, teachers, lunchtime supervisors and administrators alike.

Whether you are a practising or lapsed Christian, practise a different faith or do not consider yourself at all religious, working in a church school can raise questions and doubts about where you fit into the picture. This book aims to deal with all your possible concerns and, above all, to reassure you that whatever your background, outlook and faith, you have a meaningful role to play within a church school, and a real contribution to make to the faith life of the school. It also looks at how working in a church school should and can be fulfilling and enriching – professionally and spiritually – for everyone who engages with the school’s ethos. It is also a practical resource which contains useful information to help you navigate your way around the Bible and understand the church year, and a glossary of terms.
