Exploring Christianity creatively and confidently
Barnabas in Schools will no longer be offering RE Days and INSET sessions
From Sept 2020, Barnabas in Schools will no longer be offering RE Days and INSET sessions. Many of our most popular online education resources will still be available here. May we particularly draw your attention to our most recently produced school resources:
Free downloadable resource for teachers - Exploring Christian Festivals around the World in Collective Worship
Free video to use for teaching ideas - Exploring Christianity around the World
We will not be adding to this website but encourage you to use and share anything from this or the BRF Ideas Hub.
Barnabas RE Days
Barnabas RE Days offer a full day's programme to your school to explore Christianity creatively with primary-aged children through storytelling, drama or music, led by a member of our team. We offer over a dozen themes, as well as special themes for the north-east.
Free ideas for RE, collective worship and classroom reflection
We've got a wealth of ready-to-use outlines and ideas for collective worship, RE and other related subject areas.
Books and resources
Tried-and-tested resources for assembly/collective worship, RE, festivals, drama and crafts.
About Barnabas in Schools

We also provide free ideas for collective worship, RE and classroom reflection, as well as books and resources.
Our overall aim is to enable schools to explore Christianity creatively and confidently.
We do this by resourcing the teaching of Christianity and the Bible within RE and Collective Worship.

The Barnabas in Schools Prayer
Jesus, you chose a child as a model for adult maturity and of God’s presence among us. Thank you for our schools with their teachers and children.
Together may they create: safe places for lives to flourish; happy places for wonder and discovery; hopeful places of peace and healing; stimulating places of learning and laughter; places where everyone feels valued and respected; places that offer security and stability to all; places where both old and young can find purpose and direction in life.
Amen
