Exploring Christianity creatively and confidently
Coronavirus - resources for remote learning
Following the closure of schools, we developed a range of materials suitable for remote learning. The Barnabas in Schools team is now on furlough until 31 May, so we won’t be adding any new content, but please continue to use any of the existing material.
We look forward to being back to support and resource you as soon as we can.
To keep up-to-date with when that happens, sign up for our email newsletter packed full of topical, relevant ideas, tips and links helping you plan engaging, effective RE lessons and collective worship and follow us on Facebook for ideas and updates about the national picture in RE.
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.

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
