Who can pray?

Anyone can pray!

Individuals and groups of parents, teachers, governors or local church members get together and pray weekly, monthly or termly for one or more schools.  We have guidelines available to help you get started. You can also contact us to find out what schools in your area are being prayed for and to be put in touch. You can get together with other groups or churches to organise a Pray for Schools event

Churches could include regular prayer for schools during their services. At the beginning of the academic year, why not hold a Back to School Sunday to commission Christian pupils and school staff as they return to school. Education Sunday each January also provides an opportunity to highlight the needs of schools in your area.

There are also lots of resources for young people wanting to pray for their school.

If you let us know that you are praying, or that you want to begin, then we may be able to put you in touch with others on our database who are in your area and praying too. We’ll also keep you up to date with what’s happening in Pray for Schools with our newsletter three times a year.
