Headteacher's Message

Our Mission

To provide a holistic Christian education for all and to inspire discipleship.

Our Vision

To be a Christian community in which everyone grows in character, faith, knowledge, understanding and wisdom.

Thanks to those who gave generously to help us with the flood damage. Even with insurance, the cost has been £5000 excess, and financial and practical contributions have been helpful. Thanks to the anonymous givers as well as those who we know.
This week you may have seen the news about a legal challenge about taxing independent education at an additional 20 percent of our fees.
Our governors, our leadership team and staff are praying about our school, and the families this will impact in September.
Top barristers have taken on these issues and are fighting for schools, but we know God is wiser than our top barristers.
1 Corinthians 1:25 New King James Version 
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
I do believe we should be on our knees praying about our school and other faith schools, for the families who attend, and the staff who work sacrificially. God has been faithful to BCS for over 30 years, and people have prayed for our school since the idea was planted.  I urge you to pray for the court hearings, and the hearts of those making the rules to be changed. Pray for God's wisdom to prevail.
