This time we will be joined by Maggie Everett, Director of the new Centre for Chaplaincy in Education. Maggie will help us to reflect on the Christian distinctiveness of our calling to schools work and chaplaincy and how that fits within today’s educational framework.

After teaching for 3 years in Suffolk Maggie joined British Youth for Christ as a one year volunteer. Joining the staff and supporting and training other volunteers, Maggie subsequently became National Training Officer before being appointed to the national leadership team. As Director of Personnel and Training she developed national induction and training programmes for staff. Maggie then undertook the role of Area Director supporting and working with local YFC centres. Maggie moved back into teaching in 1997 and has held the role of Head of RE and Ethos for the past 16 years at a multi faith, inner city Church of England school. An experienced teacher, speaker and trainer, Maggie’s passion for young people and for seeing others equipped to fulfil their potential is at the forefront of her vision for chaplaincy. ‘There has never been a time when young people are crying out for meaning and purpose more than now. This is our mission field. Let’s work together to reach them with the love and power that God gives us for transforming lives’.
