Leeds Faith In Schools

Working in close partnership with schools, churches and community projects LFIS schools workers are based weekly in 8 high schools and academies across Leeds. We continually hope to be good news to the high schools of Leeds serving through the delivery of Assemblies, RE lessons, PSCHE lessons, intervention groups and one to one mentoring. We continue to facilitate exciting lunchtime clubs, Christian Unions and after school activities, making space for students to find belonging and true community in school. Our work is values-led and contributes to schools' SMSC responsibilities, serving the schools and forging space forging space for meaningful exploration of faith and belief in the life of our schools. We have an active involvement in city-wide church youth work across Leeds, partnering with other youth organisations to help shape the landscape of Christian youth work in the city and supporting the local church in making room for young people to discover faith. In addition to our partner schools we also support a large number of other schools on a more occasional an ad-hoc basis with lessons, assemblies, visiting tours and one off projects. We believe that every teenager is brilliant, valuable and has a unique contribution to bring to society. We hope that through our work the teenagers we see grow in confidence, develop socially, emotionally and spiritually and get to live life in all its fullness
