Pray for our schools
There are 30,000 schools in the UK, and Pray for Schools’ vision is to see every single one of them supported by regular Christian prayer.
Pray for Schools is not an organisation to ‘join’, but a network that exists simply to encourage prayer for schools in partnership with prayer groups, churches and Christian organisations. With prayer the combined efforts of Christian teachers, parents, governors, school board members and many others will become more effective.
You can participate through starting a group to pray regularly for your local school; having schools prayer as a focus for your church or praying as an individual for a school near you.
