New web resource to help schools explore how to build and nurture a Christian ethos

The Church of England has a new website to identify the distinctive values that make Christian schools popular with parents and students, and promote ways of living out those values in the day-to-day activities of a busy school environment. 

www.christianvalues4schools.co.uk identifies 15 core values - including Service, Trust and Forgiveness – which are introduced with brief theological reflections and examples of how schools have brought these values to life, through everything from collective worship to garden design and architecture.
