Organised by the Derby Diocesan Board of Educatiion, the day's programme includes opening worship, a keynote speaker (Lat Blaylock), and workshops.

Each delegate attends 3 from a choice of 19 workshop choices, with themes such as Instant Access Songs, Creating a multi-sensory spiritual garden in your school, and Creative Prayer.

A break for lunch provides chance for mixing and meeting with people from other schools, and the day will close with a gathering in the Main Hall where Phil Moncur, Director of Education, will round off the conference.

Delegates will also be presented with a generous pack of RE and collective worship resources.

"It should be a good day and we are looking forward to seeing everyone at Swanwick next week, " said Phil Moncur today.
