Christian resources to support their teaching across all curriculum areas
- facilitate the development and provision of new resources
- raise awareness of the needs of schools amongst Christians
Project Manager
Ms Chris Westgarth
Until 1997 Chris worked extensively in education, specialising in Early Years
and Special Needs. Her excellent administrative skills are complemented by her
ability to provide creative input into many aspects of the project. Chris has a
dual role within the charity, as she is the Project Manager for CRiS and also
for the information portal SMSC Online. Her networking capabilities have
unearthed many new organisations and resources for schools that were initially
hard to find.
Chris is a member of the Becta (British Educational Communications and
Technology agency) focus group, Schools Ministry Network and the Association of
Christian Teachers. She is Chair of Governors at a local primary school, a SIAS school inspector (formally section 23) and chairman of her village Parish Council.
A committed Christian, Chris has a desire to see the prophetic and creative
arts released in the life of the church. Chris is involved in the life of a
local Anglican Church. She is a member of the PCC and, together with Liz Booker,
heads up the children's work at the church.
She believes that Christian involvement
in education issues should be seen as a very valid form of mission.
In her 'spare' time Chris enjoys travelling and has recently become the proud
owner of Duncan, a 1952 Series MM (Morris Minor).

of the pupils she works with. In her spare time Liz enjoys reading and cooking,

Nigella has made a mistake with the amount of bicarb in the muffin recipe.!)
