Collective Worship
We lead high quality collective worship at over 20 schools, some weekly and some monthly. They can be linked with school vision, values, planning and appropriate events. We use storytelling, props, children volunteers and challenges to engage the children in what the Bible teaches and the difference it can make to them. We seek to encourage spiritual and moral development.
We also lead Collective Worship online three times a year to many schools at the same time in "Together!". This provides a unique opportunity for schools to "meet" together and share in the same message at the same time.

Collective Worship Councils
We provide bespoke packages to support pupil Collective Worship Councils. These involve exploring what is Collective Worship, understanding the 4 elements of Gather, Engage, Respond and Send and developing the children’s ability to lead Collective Worship. These are usually presented in a workshop style on a monthly basis.
Collective Worship Staff Planning and Training
We support staff in the development of Collective Worship. Schools also use TJF to present staff training on Collective Worship.
Clubs
We are available to lead two types of extra-curricular clubs:
KS1 Fun Club is an interactive, fast paced, fun club that has social games, stories, activities and challenges that engage children and help them to learn about the Bible.
KS2 Challenge Club is based around Physical, Practical and Personal Challenges that keep the children engaged, active and provoke further consideration of what is presented through Collective Worship and school values.
Mentoring
We work with children who need one-to-one emotional, behavioural and social support. We can help with areas such as self esteem, anxiety, anger, friendship and social skills, and a difficult home setting.
Curriculum and Values Support
We provide either one-off or a series of lessons for KS2 children that support areas of the curriculum or further explore school values. These sessions are practical and reflective, giving children the opportunity to further their thinking and respond personally.
Bible Roadshow
The Bible Roadshow is where the big story of the Bible is told through 7 interactive stories in the space of an hour. This is presented in classrooms, giving children the chance to engage in and respond to the stories.
Special Events
We are available to support school special events such as Harvest Festivals, Christmas, Easter and Leaver’s Events.
School Requests
We also provides schools with bespoke requests for support. Just ask and we may be able to help!
