Multi-faith prayer space

[ThanksItHasPockets]

Partly inspired by the staffroom thread and partly from conversations with students and colleagues on Friday who were preparing to begin fasting: does your school provide a space for prayer or reflection, either for staff, or students, or both? We don't currently (secular state secondary), although I think I'd use it if we did. I honestly don't know where we would find the space from, though.

Yes! We are a Catholic secondary in Scotland with a large body of Muslim students and some Muslim staff. We have a small oratory (built into the school) which can be used year round by any pupil and make over a classroom to our Islamic Society every Ramadan. It does help that our exam leave begins soon.

We are in a very deprived area and don’t often get a good name, but this, I think we do well.
