"Prayer Spaces In Schools enable children and young people to explore faith and spirituality from a broadly Christian perspective in a safe, creative and interactive way. A range of flexible resources can be adapted to work for participants aged 5 to 18 bringing an experiential dimension to a variety of subject areas and to pastoral aspects of school life."
SupportSanctum has been a brilliant for my students. A personal, spiritual and peaceful experience for all groups: I highly recommend it.
Much of what we do in school is on a horizontal level in terms of human to human but to actually get a chance to stop and think about that vertical relationship, about humans and our relationship with God. It's a privilege really. It's just wonderful to be able to do it for the children.
‘The Prayer Room is a great opportunity for students to have an experience of prayer rather than solely learning about prayer in RE lessons. The Prayer Room facilitates the opportunity for students to learn from RE, rather than just to learn about RE. The different ways for students to engage with prayer, whilst in the prayer room, enables all young people to have a fresh understanding of what prayer means, rather than seeing it just in a traditionally dry way.’
I’ve been quite surprised at the depth of some of the comments that have been put into the prayer box

It is important that we offer students opportunities to reflect upon the spiritual dimensions of life. In our position as a non denominational school it is not always easy to do this and we feel it is important we do it well. We also face the usual constraints of having the time and expertise to deliver a high quality experience for our students.
The three years that we have worked with your team on The Sanctum Project have provided an enjoyable and exceptionally effective “Pause for Thought” in the midst of a busy year; an opportunity we would find it difficult to give our students without your support.
The ultimate testimony to Sanctum can be seen in the depth of the responses of our students to the project, their insightful comments reveal the importance of this sort of experience.
