Open the Book announced in May that 2000 registered primary schools are now taking part in the scheme, and that over 400 schools have registered since October 2014.
There are also over 11,000 volunteer Bible storytellers going into schools across the UK.
Beginnings
Open the Book began in Bedford in 1999. It is a three-year rolling programme of themed and dramatised Bible stories, which are presented by teams of volunteers free of charge to primary schools. In 2013 Open the Book became part of Bible Society in a bid to expand the project to more schools.
