All ministry needs to start with prayer. We grow in faith as we connect with God’s heart for people. As we pray for schools and their children, our heart for the children and the staff at the school grows and we see God move.
Ask, Seek, Knock
Matthew 7:7-11
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
Put Friday 26th September in your diary and join the National Day of Prayer
On the National Day of Prayer for Schools we encourage christians across the UK to set aside time to pray for their local schools. This year, join us in praying for the education system in our country, and for children, young people, teachers, non-teaching staff, visiting organisations, and Christians who support in the schools and colleges within your community on Friday 26th September 2025.
Get together with other Christians from your church or in your local community on the National Day of Prayer for Schools and pray for your local schools. You could do this in a variety of ways:
- Go on a prayer walk together
- Pray outside your local school(s)
- Put together a creative prayer space with activities to prompt prayers
- Organise a prayer gathering
- Get together with Christians you know who work in schools and pray for them and their school

This guide is to help you pray for students and teachers. You can use it to pray for students and teachers around the world, but we would suggest that you make it a bit more local and begin to intercede for the schools around you.
