Open the Book (OtB) offers primary school children an opportunity to hear key Bible stories told by a team of Christians from local churches, who present the stories during assemblies or acts of collective worship. Each presentation takes around 10–15 minutes and can be incorporated into a wider school assembly, or can stand alone. It is a three-year rolling programme with an additional, but optional year of material based on Christian values for schools.

The Partnership Open The Book Team, led by Heather Benn, have been active in local schools:

01 February 2023 ‘The Great Escape’ Shaw Ridge School

07 December 2022 ‘God’s Friend’ Shaw School

09 November 2022 ‘A Special Promise’ Shaw School
