Pray Bake Read/Listen
‘Pray, Bake, Read/Pray, Bake, Listen’ initiatives are proving very successful in a number of schools and will be supported with ideas for prayers and recipes here on our website.
The idea is to build or enhance excellent school parish relationships. This new initiative involves the local church offering the following to their local school:
PRAY... intentionally for your local school weekly
BAKE ... a cake for the staff each half term
READ ... 1:1 with a student once a week
Or
LISTEN ... 1:1 with a student once a week
As an alternative to ‘Read’ the church can offer volunteers who can ‘Listen’. This is very
valuable but does need mentoring training.

We are hoping that this initiative will spread across the diocese and that parishes can offer this to every school. Cards have been sent out to every church school Headteacher and Chair of Governors, and every Incumbent. These are designed to be a conversation starter with teachers, clergy, paid staff, volunteers and foundation governors about whether your church could offer Pray, Bake, Read/Listen in your school.
