**Christian Connections in Schools** has a vision to make Jesus known in primary and secondary schools in Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead, through partnership with local churches and as a mission partner with Scripture Union. This is achieved through a broad spectrum of work, ranging from assemblies and lessons and supporting Christian groups, to large scale events and residential trips.
Currently we employ Wayne Dixon who works in a number of secondary schools in the area and was previously the Scripture Union schools worker for Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead for 25 years.

## **Annual report: April 2021-April 2022**
## **Aims and values**
We aim to advance the Christian faith among children, young people and families, particularly in schools and in conjunction with the churches in the area of Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead.
We endeavour to do this through:
**Partnership** with local churches, individuals and Christians in schools.
Developing good **Relationships** with individuals and schools.
**Respecting** the school environment as a place of education and the beliefs of others.
Seeking for our work to be **Relevant** in how we communicate the good news of Jesus as it is revealed to us in the Bible.
**What we do:** https://player.vimeo.com/video/228468467
In everything we do, our intention is to engage with all those in schools (students, teachers and support staff) and to encourage and support Christians in schools by using words and actions.
## _**Hanging Around Ministry – HAM**_
HAM reinforces and complements schools’ ministry by providing an opportunity to spend time with pupils, staff and others at more informal occasions such as lunch and break times.
## **Assemblies**
Assemblies have proved to be an effective way to dispel some of the misconceptions that people may have about Jesus and Christianity. It provides a short opportunity (5-8 minutes) to share with a large group (approx. 200-250 at a time) some of what Jesus said or did, or a story that Jesus told.
## **Lessons**
Teaching time contributes to the school RE/PSHE curriculum and provides opportunities for discussion in a classroom setting.
## _**Christmas Unwrapped**_ **and** _**Easter Cracked**_
These significant initiatives started as a one-off church centenary celebration in 1994. Local schools are invited to send their Year 6 classes to these church-based presentations of the great stories of the Gospel, which have proved to be so popular that more than 50 areas throughout the country are now involved in putting on their own events.
Each presentation aims to provide a warm welcome to the church and hopes to share something of both the Christmas and Easter miracles in a way that is memorable, interactive and engaging. Slough Baptist Church held the very first presentations and currently schedule _Easter Cracked_ for March and _Christmas Unwrapped_ for late November. The church provides an outline programme so that anyone wishing to hold their own event in their local area has all they need to get started.
## _**It’s Your Move!**_
_It’s Your Move!_ entails an hour-long session for year 6 pupils (age 10/11) and is held in primary schools during late June and early July for children preparing to move to senior school.
## **School Christian Groups**
Wayne Dixon’s schools work began when Slough Grammar asked him to help set up a Christian group in the school. Groups like this
now meet in a number of local schools, including Altwood, Burnham Grammar (Explore), Cox Green (Ignite), Newlands Girls Schools (Revive) and Windsor Girls’ School (Big Questions). These groups are publicised in assemblies at the beginning of the school year.
## _**Examattack**_
_‘Examattack_ is a presentation held in most of the secondary schools Wayne visits and seeks to put exams into perspective for students. This initiative has been well received for its contribution to the life of a school in an area which is hugely important. http://www.examattack.org.uk/
## **Inter Schools Soccer Sevens**
This is an annual competition for local schools which enter teams of students, up to and including year 10, and is held at Langley Grammar School over two evenings. In the years when there is a World Cup or European Championship, pupils receive booklets packed full of stories, facts and figures as well as testimonies from Christian sportsmen and women.
## _**Youth & Children ‘What’s On?**_ **Update**
We send out a regular email that helps publicise events, resources and more that might help churches enhance their children’s and youth ministry. Churches or individuals who wish to publicise events, resources or training in their own area for anyone involved with children’s, youth or schools work may also send details to us and we will include them in future updates.
## **Christianity Awareness Week**
The trust undertakes to work with youth groups and churches through planning, producing and leading specific campaigns and activities in schools and the wider area. One such is Christianity Awareness Week (Illuminate Windsor & Slough), most recently held in October 2018.
## **Prayer**
We believe that the most significant contribution we can make to our schools is to pray for them. There are a number of opportunities each year for particular prayer events, including Education Sunday (early September), Prayday (November) and Pray for Schools (a fortnight in May).
## **Primary Schools initiatives**
This short video explains our Church/Primary School initiatives and how they have developed over the past 25 years.

## **What we achieved**
## **Summer 2021**
## _**It’s Your Move!**_
Praise God – we started this year’s presentations with almost three thousand _It’s Your Move!_ books and at the end of them there just thirty left. Wayne had visited forty-nine schools and did more than fifty presentations (mostly in-person), giving them the chance to share the book and the stories of people Jesus met. Sadly, we could not accommodate every school, so we recorded a presentation which we could send to schools if we were unable to be present in person. The result gives a good flavour of how an _It’s Your Move!_ session works, and can be accessed via the link below. Pupils love it, schools welcome it and it provides a great complement to other mission opportunities such as _Easter Cracked and Christmas Unwrapped._
- https://youtu.be/OM_ndo RmOg
During one of the presentations, a year 6 pupil asked Wayne ‘ _What happens if I am not good enough?’_ The question was not easy to answer, but Wayne did his best and prayed that God would bless his reply. The question shows that initiatives like _It’s Your Move!_ are needed now more than ever, especially since the disruption caused by the pandemic. Wayne was much more encouraged by the question ‘ _What inspires you?’,_ as it gave him a chance to share some of his story about how he became a Christian, the difference Jesus makes and why he loves being in schools.
Feedback from both staff and pupils was very good. A child from Larchfield Primary School, who reviewed the book for us, said:
‘ _When I received the book, It’s Your Move, it had fun activities and brain refreshers. The book is colourful, enjoyable and most of all communicative, it almost felt like I was conversing with them. My favourite part would probably be the top 40 survival tips. Ultimately, I would like to reiterate that_ It's Your Move! _is a great book, and I would suggest this book to any Year 6 pupil who is intimidated about going to their new secondary school.’_
Others said:
_‘When Wayne was asked to rap one of his songs, the class loved it. In fact, the children have now begun to write and perform their own rap about transitions. Thank you so much Wayne. You really are a star! Thank you CCiS for providing such an excellent service (and books) for our children.’_
_‘Wayne delivered a fantastic assembly which covered a wide range of topics and questions the children had ahead of transition. He made the presentation interactive and engaging for the children.’_
_‘I couldn’t recommend Wayne and your service enough! The presentations have a lasting impacting on the children and are always remembered fondly as being great experiences to be a part of.’_
‘It's Your Move _has helped me enormously and has made me feel more confident about going to secondary school, something which until recently seemed extremely daunting. The book, along with the two assemblies with Wayne, have taught me that it is totally normal to be scared of older children, getting lost and not fitting in. My favourite part was the statistics because it showed me I wasn't alone in my worries. This book is amazing and I recommend it to any year 6 transitioning to secondary school.’_
_‘Before_ It's Your Move _I felt a mixture of excitement and worry. I had so many questions about making new friends and what I'd need to take, but when Wayne came, all my questions were answered, and I discovered that others were nervous too. When I got the It's Your Move book there were a variety of activities and top tips. My favourite part was the top 40 survival tips as they told you to be yourself and it will definitely guide me through the early days of secondary school. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants some tips to help them in the next step of their life.’_
## **Interview on Premier Christian Radio : Dare to Share**
Wayne recorded an interview for Premier Christian Radio, which was broadcast on May 28[th] . https://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Weekday/In - - - - spirational Breakfast with Michael - - - - - - Fanstone/Interviews/Dare to Share Week Making Jesus - - - - - known to children and young people
## **Windsor Boys’ and Windsor Girls’ Staff Prayer Group**
Prayer is the most significant contribution we can make to our schools. Wayne was at Windsor Girls’ for an in-person assembly at the beginning of June, and a staff member told him that she was very keen to start a staff prayer group. Wayne was greatly encouraged as over the years he has found that these groups have
worked so much better when initiated from within. A few weeks later, on a Monday evening, a number of staff from both the boys’ and girls’ schools met on ZOOM and Wayne was able to join them as they prayed and chatted for an hour. They plan to continue these groups either termly or whenever the staff feel appropriate. Praise God – and maybe in the years ahead Christian staff in other schools will connect, encourage, and pray either in school, church or on ZOOM.
## **Autumn 2021**
## **Time spent in schools**
## **Eden Girls School**
“How did Jesus change the lives of the people he met?”, was the topic Wayne shared with Eden Girls School. The feedback was very positive.
_Wayne Dixon gave year 8 students an inspiring, fascinating & entertaining Christianity lesson today on Zacchaeus the tax collector – thanks Wayne! (Rhama Eden Girls’ School November 2021_
_“It was very helpful for us as a Muslim faith school to hear from someone with a personal Christian perspective. The topic was interesting, simple, and delivered in an exciting way for students”._ (Sabiha, Eden Girls’ School: November 2021)
## **You are very special! The lost sheep** : **Luke 15:1-7**
Wayne spoke from this passage at Courthouse, Eton Wick First, Larchfield, Lowbrook, Marish, Oldfield, St. Bernard’s Prep, St. Mary’s Farnham Royal, St. Peter’s Middle, Wessex and Willow. In each school it was very well received as an appropriate message for both pupils and staff during uncertain times.
## **Conferences and training**
Wayne attended The National Youth Ministry Weekend, as well as the twice delayed Scripture Union Weekend Conference, _Revealing Jesus_ . Both blessed him as connections were made and wisdom shared. The Saturday morning session at the SU conference, led by Laura Hancock from _British Youth for Christ,_ was particularly moving when she reminded delegates that: _"we're not here because of a programme or a strategy, but because God has broken our hearts for children and young people!"_
## _**Christmas Unwrapped**_
Wayne was deeply moved by _Christmas Unwrapped._ Despite a different format, due to restrictions caused by the pandemic, the staff comments below prove that it remains a significant blessing. Ten of our local churches worked with approximately forty schools, with many others having a similar impact around the whole country and beyond.
_“Very informative! .... Activities are fun and engaging. Children enjoyed the quizzes and learning more about Christmas! The presentation was very well put together and engaging for the children. There were talking breaks between the videos which helped as children were sitting for the duration. It was nicely broken down in different sections to make it easier to memorise and then retell._ ”
## **Spring 2022**
## **Easter opportunities**
Wayne performed an Easter Rap (written by Sarah Smart), during an assembly at St. Joseph’s School and the Year 9 pupils received it with great enthusiasm. In the classrooms Wayne focused on _The Easter Miracle_ , and was asked about Judas by one Year 6 pupil; and by another about what would have happened if Jesus had not gone through with the events of Easter. So many of these questions are fascinating, but they require wisdom, so Wayne appreciates prayer for God’s leading when faced with them during his visits to our schools.
## _**Easter Cracked**_
Wayne was doubtful if the format of _Easter Cracked_ could be adapted for our new circumstances, but the online version which was recorded by members of the team at Slough Baptist Church, has been very successful. https://youtu.be/lv07rOYbI4M
Even so, having been involved personally with these presentations for over twenty-five years, Wayne was thrilled to be back in school halls like Claycots Town Centre Campus, where 120 year 6 children were thoroughly engaged. At one point he paused and reflected that at that exact time there were at least two further sessions going on for other schools in local churches, as well as others taking place around the country. This remains the most significant area of work in which Wayne has been involved as a Schools Worker.
## **Church/school partnerships**
We continue to ask supporters if they are connected to churches which could be involved with a neighbouring school. Locally there are now ten churches partnering with well over forty schools and In February we held a prayer time via ZOOM for these church/school initiatives. One of those who works in this way, (although outside our area) sent this encouragement:
“ _Easter and Christmas provide wonderful natural opportunities to invite and then work alongside our local communities to share the wonderful, good news of Jesus. Creating a fun, interactive Easter and Christmas workshop becomes such a very positive memorable experience for the children from our local schools. We build connections with them and the staff, the church prays, God is at work. Can’t recommend getting involved enough”._ (Katie, Bath)
## _**Examattack**_
Wayne has been presenting _Examattack_ in schools for over 30 years and this year for parents/carers, staff and especially pupils, the repercussions of Covid absences etc. were still being felt. However, it was good to share the presentations and then have some conversations with staff and pupils either side of a session.
## **Throughout the year**
## **Some general feedback from staff:**
_“Wayne’s assemblies are always well received. He has an engaging and humorous style and an ability to connect with students. His messages are always thought-provoking, helping students reflect on the biblical story and how it might be relevant today”_ (David, Langley Grammar School: March 2022)
_“A real pleasure to have Wayne in school. Fantastic rapport with children. Incredible positive presence ”_ (March 2022)
_“Linked in exceptionally well with the unit of work we are currently studying as we are exploring who Jesus was, why he is important to Christians and what Christians take from Jesus’ teachings and actions.”_ (Trevelyan Middle School: January 2022)
_“RE can be a challenging subject to teach whilst keeping in mind the diversity that exists in most classrooms. For children to engage with it and understand the messages, having input from CCIS is invaluable”_
## _**Before and Beyond**_
Whenever he visits a school, Wayne continues to find an element of what he calls _Before and Beyond._ For example, Windsor Girls’ has a group called _Big Questions_ that meets on a Tuesday. ‘Before’ starts on arrival in reception when he signs in, as it provides an opportunity to connect with staff and students on a variety of matters. Next comes the actual session, which is a wonderful opportunity to share Jesus with pupils and staff. ‘Beyond’ happens afterwards, and on one occasion, he was able to chat with some senior pupils, making connections with the visit of LZ7 to their school in October 2018, when they were aged 15.
## **Hanging Around Ministry (HAM)**
Whether it’s general chatting with staff and students, trying his hand at basketball, playing table-tennis, or listening to difficult questions, HAM continues to be one of Wayne’s most significant ministries. These special times linger long in the memory, and Nicola, now a Vicar in Newbury, sent this encouragement following a webinar in which Wayne took part, and a conversation which followed:
_Thinking back to my days at WGS (_ Windsor Girls School) _I always remember your visits as a day we looked forward to. It went such a long way to have a Christian presence in the school that made faith relatable and understandable to us. I always remember that you came to sit with us and talk to us during our lunch break so we could tell that you cared about us individually and wanted to hear from us. The assemblies were always fun and engaging too, I think most of my friends still remember them!_
## **Prayer**
We held _Prayer Focus_ meetings for CCiS & Scripture Union on ZOOM in September, February and May **.** Wayne’s _Pause to Pray_ bulletins were launched over twenty years ago and still encourage supporters to pray for our schools via a monthly update.
## **Partnership ministries**
Through conversations with headteachers, other staff and especially young people over the past two years, we have become increasingly aware of the need to promote their well-being. There are various initiatives available both in school and out of school, all of which we promote. Examples include _Rooted_ and _Kintsugi_ groups and a mental health and wellbeing suite developed by Scripture Union. We also promote conferences and training provided by other organisations with which we have a relationship, such as Scripture Union’s _Shine in Schools._
## **News from the Trust**
## **Andy Perryman (former CCIS chair)**
Andy stepped down as Chair of CCIS in August 2021. We were very sorry to lose him, as he had served CCIS so well and so faithfully, but were delighted for him and his family on their move to a new ministry on the south coast. We sent him the following message:
_A massive thank you to Andy who has been our chair since Wayne’s move from Scripture Union in 2012. He has led the tricky path from national organisation to a team who are focused on the needs of our local churches to inspire a “reach out” to young people in our area --- Christian Connections In Schools._
_During those nine years of leadership and dedication Andy has ensured all the “necessaries” (banking, payrolls, charity registration, staff checks, web site design, person specs, hosting and organising meetings, policies, forms of reports, raising support from churches etc. etc. etc.) have been done efficiently. But (and here is the difficult bit and something we can easily make a mistake with) … everything put in their right place!!! He has ensured the focusing and enabling of the ministry of Wayne to spread the amazing word of God to our local young people. All this has been made possible by Andy’s clear-sighted leadership, his evident practice of listening to God and also his readiness to listen to the other trustees._
_What can we say? Just to wish Andy God’s blessings in his new place (geographically) but we rest assured that he will be continuing his brilliant work in building God’s kingdom in a way that enables people with many different God given gifts to work as an amazing team!!_
Andy’s role was subsequently taken by Alan Symons, one of our long-standing trustees, and we are very grateful to him for his willingness to serve in this way.
## **Anniversary celebration**
CCiS is 10 years old this year. There will be an opportunity to give thanks to God on Friday 14th October, when Jubilee Community Church, Maidenhead, will be hosting our celebration event. Rachel Gardner, the founder of Romance Academy and an author, volunteer youth worker, President of the Girls' Brigade and a former Schools Worker in Harrow, will be our guest speaker. This will be a chance to pause, pray, reflect, worship and enjoy fellowship. Details of the event itself can be found at https://wearejubilee.churchsuite.com/events/bgppkon0
## **Primary Schools Development Worker**
Despite extensive advertising throughout the spring term, we were still unable to fill this role, which would allow us to extend our work into primary schools more effectively. To help promote the work we do, and our hopes for the future, trustees are willing to visit churches to share our vision with congregations and leadership teams.
## **Primary Schools Development Worker: Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead**
Salary: £23,000-26,000
Christian Connections in Schools (CCiS) require a full time primary school development worker to help make Jesus known in our local schools, and to work alongside our experienced secondary schools worker. The role includes establishing and maintaining contact with local churches; advocating the Christian faith, lifestyle and support work with children and young people predominantly in primary, first and middle schools; and recruiting, equipping and supporting volunteers. The role will include some weekend and evening commitments. We are willing to consider a part time worker or job share.
This role has an occupational requirement to be filled by a practising Christian.
Further details are available from Pauline Scott on info@ccischools.org.uk
## **Communication**
CCiS communicates through a variety of sources, including regular termly newsletters, delivered either electronically or through the post. There is a well- presented website which includes news of - forthcoming events: http://ccischools.org.uk/about ccis/
Wayne sends news of his own and other initiatives through regular monthly emails to all his contacts. These include his _Youth and Children’s What’s On_ update and _Pause to Pray_ , where the need to pray for particular concerns is highlighted.
## **Giving**
To maintain and develop the work in our schools we are looking for individuals and churches prayerfully to consider giving to CCiS in the following ways:
- Visit https://www.cafonline.org/
- Make a bank transfer to _Christian Connections in Schools_ , sort code 40 52 40, account number 00032898
- Send a cheque (payable to _Christian Connections in Schools)_ to: The Treasurer, CCiS, Westfield, 3c College Avenue, Maidenhead SL6 6AR
- Leave a bequest to CCiS, using our charity name _Christian Connections in Schools_ and registered number 1150149
The trustees are very grateful to all those who support us in their different ways, most especially over this difficult period.
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare a statement of accounts for each financial year, which comply with the regulations made under that act.
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Charity law in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 3. State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
4. Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations made under s145 of the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Approval**
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Annual Report above and the Financial Report for the period 6[th] April 2021 to 5[th] April 2022. The trustees authorised Mr Alan Peter Symons (Chair) to sign on their behalf.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees**
I report on my examination of the accounts of the charity Christian Connections in Schools for the period from 6[th] April 2021 to 5th April 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
