    Important Information

    Who to Contact First About Any Concerns

    If you have any day-to-day concerns about your child, please contact your child's form teacher(s) first. Most classes have two teachers who work in pairs, so it's helpful to copy both teachers into your email.

    📰 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 Parents and Carers,

    I wanted to let you know that we recently had our ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) inspection on 1 October. We are awaiting the formal written report, which we expect to receive by Christmas, and we'll share the full outcome with you once we have it.

    Thank you for your support

    Thanks to all who sent encouraging messages of support, who gave us feedback on the questionnaire, who prayed us through the experience, and who continue to support us as we partner with you in your children's education. We are all exhausted this week, but grateful for the community we are.
