What We Do
At CLiKS, our aim communicate the stories and values of the Bible to school children in the town of Keighley, in appropriate ways for children of all backgrounds and faiths.
We do this by offering assemblies, lunch clubs, after school clubs,
open the book and multi school events.
We are currently searching for a schools worker to take a lead on this work.
If you are or know somebody who you think would thrive in this role please get in touch.
Collective
Worship
Collective worship is the main way that CLiKS engages with schools. Assemblies are conducted in a respectful way of telling children about Christianity.
We educate children and tell Bible stories in a way that is suitable for all faiths and backgrounds.
We get children's input by asking them questions that gives
them chances to get involved
and have a say.
Prayer
Spaces
For all children there are
stresses in their lives.
Our 'Prayer Spaces' program
gives children a space to reflect
on what is going on in their lives and the world around them.
The prayer sessions have a mixture of sensory stimulating activities as well as those that encourage reflection and encouragement in all aspects of the children's lives.
REWIND TO CHRISTMAS
Rewind to Christmas is our
first multi-school ‘big event’
of the academic year.
We invite all Year 4 classes in the Keighley area to the local church tell them the Christmas story.
The event is packed with activities, games, crafts and even a shepherd telling their side of the Christmas story.
The event is designed for all students to engage with.
REWIND TO EASTER
Rewind to Easter is our second
'big event' of the year.
Year 5 classes are invited this time to learn about the Easter story. The event is designed to help engage pupils of all learning styles and interests through run around quizzes, upfront story telling
and decorating plant pots to
plant seeds in to take home.
FAST FORWARD
Our Fast Forward event takes place in the summer for Year 6.
It is designed to help the children to meet other
children going to the
same secondary school.
This helps them to create meaningful relationships that they can pick up on the first day of Secondary School.
We use the story of David and Goliath to help the children understand the changes, challenges and choices that they may face in their new schools.
We are an ecumenical charity
working to achieve together!
Open the Book
Our Vice Chair, Dale Barton, heads up the project in Keighley and we look forward to telling these stories in school again soon.
Open The Book is a project run by
The Bible Society and tells stories from
the Bible in accessible ways in line with
school and education guidelines.
We aim to use this project to connect local churches with their local schools.

It is designed for both children who attend church regularly and those who do not.
