What Do We Do?
Working in schools is one of Scripture Union's main priorities. We aim to do this by equipping and supporting those who work or study in school. Our dedicated team of staff workers, associated workers (supported by local charitable trusts) and a network of thousands of volunteers work together to inspire the local school community to have a greater understanding of God through the Bible.
At this time of year, many Christians are working with Y6 pupils as they prepare to move up to Secondary School. It's Your Move is a purpose made resource that focuses on this area of school life.

Helping Children Prepare For Secondary School
Fast-Forward is a multi-media event hosted at many churches through out the country. It is run by volunteers from local churches, using video, drama, interviews and activities to explore the changes, challenges and choices that face students as they prepare to move from primary to secondary education.
One reason why the Fast Forward events have been so successful is because they recognise that friendships are such an important issue with young people. The events aim to support young people as they face – leaving friends, making new friends and even being left out of friendship groups.
Each young person who attends a Fast Forward event receives a free copy of the It's Your Move book. Local churches usually buy these books as a gift to the pupils and this is something that many pupils keep and treasure for years to come.
