Our journey so far

The Stapleford Centre (UK) is an independent Christian education centre, focussing on providing training for teachers, resources for schools and research into education. Since its inception, the Stapleford Centre’s aim has always been to promote knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith, its place in our heritage and today’s society, and to create a generation of teachers who are well-informed, well-equipped and have a passion for their job.

Although the Stapleford Centre has a long history of work in Christian teaching in schools, it became an independent charity in 1997. Prior to this, its remit had been the delivery of training courses and residential conferences for Christian teachers, and the creation of resources.

Our involvement with other Christian teaching organisations is no less, and the Stapleford Centre’s reputation since 1997 has grown, with resources being used widely and our expertise in training becoming known worldwide. The Stapleford Centre actively maintains its links with EURECA (European Educators Christian Association); ACT (The Association of Christian Teachers); TISCA (The Independent Schools Christian Alliance); The Kuyers Institute, Grand Rapids, MI, USA; and the Christian Schools Trust.

Our resources are widely acclaimed, and we continue to work with specialists such as Trevor and Margaret Cooling, Alison Farnell, and a whole host of academic teaching professionals to bring new, relevant materials to fruition.

The Stapleford Centre will continue to equip, empower and energise the teaching profession, and to advocate Christian teaching in schools. The Stapleford Centre continues to be a transforming Christian influence in education; its working relationship with a wide range of organisations and leading teaching experts continues to grow, and its impact on the classroom and the children of today is well-recognised.
