David Raven-hill School Effectiveness officer Kirklees
The Parables give us an opportunity to explore Christian teaching and messages, through stories made all the mroe accessible by being placed in a 21st century setting through the characters of Charlie and his friends. Consequently, not only do these wonderful stories encourage Target 1 'Learning about religion' but also Target 2 'Learning from religion'.
SS Head teacher - Halifax
"Hand to Mouth ensure the children 'get the message' because it is pitched absolutely at their level and relates to their experiences"
