Aims and Motto

We hold that each child is uniquely precious and of worth, and that the impartation of Christian truth is of great value as part of a person’s education and preparation for life.  Consequently, Christianity permeates the curriculum, running and life of the school.

 

The aims are threefold:-

 

1.  To teach pupils scripture, and about the nature of God and His salvation.

 

2. To create a learning and social environment that allows each child to flourish.

 

3.  To provide an education which gives a thorough academic grounding, a preparation for public exams and an enjoyable school day.

 

Our vision is for the school to be a place with an atmosphere full of the love and wisdom of God.  Our hope is that a desire for God would be kindled in each pupil.

 

A Christian School is concerned about Christian foundations being laid in lives.  The Bible speaks about foundations in Ephesians and Hebrews, in particular of “Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone”, and of a city, of people, “that has foundations whose builder and maker is God”.

 

Our school motto is, ‘We look for a city that has foundations, whose builder and maker is God’.  Hebrews 12 tells us that this city is where Christians have come to: ‘You have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.... to  Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant.’  Heb 12:22, 24   Our prayer is that all our pupils, past and present, may know  the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord and discover that they are indeed citizens of that heavenly Jerusalem.
