The most recent Church census (2010) found that 50 per cent of the Churches in England have no 11 to 14 year olds in the congregation, and 59 per cent have no 15 to 19 year olds. In 2001 the Way Ahead report noted, "If the children are not coming to us, we must go to them. Church schools are the Church’s major opportunity to serve young people."

The Anglican Institute for School Leadership makes theological education accessible to teachers and school leaders so they can offer spiritual leadership in their schools. Please find out more by following the links on the left of this page.

"Congratulations on this initiative! It sounds wonderful. If we can help in any way please let us know. I look forward to working with you and seeing more of this!"
