Wayne Dixon
Scripture Union
schools worker
“ Schools really welcome gifts
like Into the Bible because RE
budgets are so tight.
It is a quality programme that
will enhance the delivery of
teaching and learning in RE.
It’s been road-tested too so
that it works for the nonspecialist teacher!
Into the Bible will be as
effective in the contribution to the
RE curriculum as It’s Your Move!
has been in helping children
make the transition from primary
to secondary school. ”
Nick Harding
Children’s officer,
Diocese of Southwell
“ Into the Bible is a unique
and very valuable
resource that is sure to make
the Bible come alive, with
guidance and clear help for
teachers and schools.
It will help churches to
develop their work with
schools, and, along with It's
Your Move!, can provide
schools with high quality
resources.
I haven’t seen anything
quite like this before – an
excellent idea! ”
Penny Boshoff
church children’s worker
“ It is a shame that children at
school, learning about what
Christians believe, rarely
study the Bible for
themselves.
Into the Bible can change
that! And so many head
teachers, managing tight
budgets, would welcome the
practical support of churches
offering them this resource.
This is a great opportunity
for churches to work with their
local schools.”
