Here we are at day 21 in the life of schoolswork.co.uk and registered on the site we have over 200 members. Congratulations to Adrian Kemp for being our 200th member! I wanted to help paint a picture for you of the size of the community so far…

In 2006 BBC Newsround produced a series of incredible films, The Wrong Trainers, about young people living in poverty in the UK. Using the voices of real young people, the films use animation and carton characters to tell their stories visually. The result is something the Aardman’s Creature Comforts. There are five main stories, all of them involving young people talking about their experience. The animations enable the films to deal with very strong and disturbing stories without making an audience of young people too emotionally upset.

One aim of this website is to get schools workers connected with others in their areas, and increase support and community in the world of Christian schools work.

A couple of good sites i’ve found that are useful for assembly, lesson or club ideas.
