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.
Dear Families,
We want to send a huge thank you to the White family for their perseverance in fighting their recent case. We have seen the photos circulating in the media and are incredibly grateful for their efforts on behalf of the community. Check out the Christian School court challenge online to see what they have been doing.
We are also very appreciative of the Kayode family, who have generously donated new PE equipment to the school. It will be put to great use by the students.
A special thanks goes to our Racket Club team, Mrs March, Mrs Walker, and Mr Kwon, who bring so much fun and energy to the end of Wednesday for our Upper School students.
Middle School study Club is busy, thanks to the staff who stay after school to help these children study and get homework out of the way
Thursday Drama is also well underway as our middle school practice for Matilda
Breakfast Club provides a calm start to the day and allows parents to start work earlier, knowing Mrs Virgo and Mrs Peckover are caring for their children
Launchpad football are still running middle school classes after school
We have come a long way in terms of before and after school provision and always looking for ways to develop it further. We are hoping to run more clubs in summer term
School Updates
- Facilities: Phase 1 of our heating upgrade is officially underway. The first of our new boilers has arrived, and the gas engineers have been busy with the installation this week.
- Forest School & D of E: Under Mr Kershaw’s leadership, our Forest School area is developing fast. Years 9 and 10 recently enjoyed a cook-out as part of their Duke of Edinburgh preparation. I am delighted that we have received a grant to further improve this space, and we are expecting a delivery of 15 trees from the Woodland Trust soon.
- Call for Volunteers: If any parents have gardening knowledge or an interest in the outdoors, we would love to hear from you to help plant and maintain this growing area.
- Baby News: We had a special visitor in the Middle School assembly this week. Mrs Stockill brought baby Asher in to say hello. He is absolutely beautiful and looks just like his big brother!
- We have welcomed six new nursery children this term and they are settling well. Thanks to those of you who bring in friends. Children can start with a government funded place the term after they turn three years old. There is an open day for EYFS on 4th February if you know of anyone interested - please advertise our spaces.
