Prayer Spaces in schools enable children, of all faiths and none, to explore questions about life and spirituality. It offers a safe space where children can learn skills of personal reflection and allows them to draw their own conclusion from the experience.

A Prayer Space is normally set up in a classroom sized area and can be used as part of the RE curriculum. It can be set up for a few days or a week.

  • "I loved the fact that we could share our dreams"

  • "I enjoyed the stress sponges and the write your worries in the sand one. Thanks for everything!"

  • "I really want to come back."

  • The teaching staff gave positive feedback and one member of the Senior Leadership Team said "The conversations we had with the children were amazing. If the Head Teacher was to ask if we should have another Prayer Space my answer would be a resounding YES!"

  • We also had some lovely feedback from a parent who said that her daughter went home and made her own 'prayer space' under their dining room table!
