'Shaping Christian Engagement in Education . . .'
The Stapleford Centre is currently undergoing a period of transition to ensure we continue to be a transforming Christian influence in education.
Over the next 12 months we will be:-
- Adding to our free downloadable resources for teachers of RE.
- Organising conferences and seminars for teachers, school leaders and senior Christian educationalists.
- Hosting major developments and projects such as Crossref-it.info and the Transforming Lives project.
- Establishing new projects to create communities of influence, development, support and encouragement that will promote Christian engagement in education.
Monthly updates on our progress will be posted on this website, our new Facebook page and Twitter feed (launching in January 2012) along with prayer news and other information.

An Open Letter to all Friends and Supporters of The Stapleford Centre
Dear Friend,
I am writing on behalf of the staff and Trustees of the Stapleford Centre to thank you for your faithful support and to urge you to continue!
As you know, we are working hard to understand God's will for the future of the Stapleford Centre and in particular to preserve and build on our rich heritage of engaging Christian thinking in education.
The Trustees continue to believe in the work of the Stapleford Centre and the vision, and therefore your prayer and giving remains crucial as we seek God's will. However, as we do not have long term funding we have advised our remaining staff, David Morton, Robin Staple and Susan Coyne, that they will be leaving their posts at the end of August 2012.
Meanwhile, we are still actively exploring the future of the Trust - and it may be that its work is paused in the short term. No matter what, there is still very important work for us to do in securing the legacy of the Stapleford Centre. For example, the website, a source of inspiration for many in the teaching world, continues to need managing and developing and the wealth of resources developed over the years needs to be secured and relevantly shared.
As we continue to adapt to change in order to embrace the future, we invite you to stand with us in financial and prayer support. This is an important time for you to review your own vision and financial commitment. We welcome your input as on both levels you could make a critical difference.
We will let you know the outcomes following the next Trustees' meeting on 2nd June 2012.
Kind regards,
Fiona Carter, Chair of Trustees
