Description
How can today’s Church of England schools and academies deepen their common vision and purpose? What can schools discover from their movement’s founder, Joshua Watson, to inspire them now and underpin future developments?This booklet tells the story of the beginnings of the National Society, which launched mass schooling in England and Wales. Drawing from the heritage church schools share, it offers thoughtful reflection on vital concepts for the present day, such as ‘belonging,’ ‘rooted’ and ‘narrative.’
