Parent FAQs
I really want a Christian education for my children, but can I afford it?
Our families come from all sorts of economic backgrounds to enjoy the same great Christian education. We keep our fees purposely low in order to offer ready access to Christian education. If you have concerns about your ability to pay our fees, please still speak to us, as it is not our intention that fees should be a barrier.
Can I arrange a school visit?
We encourage prospective families to come to organised open days. If these opportunities are missed then contact us to see about scheduling an individual appointment.
What is the application process?
Please have a look at our application form and the process that outlines. There is often a case for your child attending lessons for a day, or part of a day, as a step towards deciding if this is the right school for your child. We will also schedule an interview with you and your child.
Do you have to be a Christian to send your children to the school?
We accept pupils from any religion or none. All pupils will be expected to submit to the ethos of the school. Pupils will regularly hear about what God has told us in the Bible, memorise passages from Scripture and from the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and be disciplined within a Christian framework. Any family that is content with these arrangements may enrol their children at our School.
What are the lunch arrangements at the school?
Lunchtime normally begins with singing a Psalm, thanking God for the food, and a prayer of blessing. All pupils are expected to bring their own packed lunch. There are no lunches provided at school. In addition to lunch time, there are also two snacks, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Do younger pupils stay the whole day?
Parents of P1 pupils have the option of picking them up at 12:30 pm each day for the first few weeks to help them get settled.
What subjects are taught?
Details of the curriculum objectives for children at different ages can be provided on request. The Christian worldview underpins the philosophical approach to education and is embedded across the whole curriculum.
Is there before or after-school care provided?
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer before or after-school care, although this may be added in the future.
Is there a nursery?
There is currently no nursery provision, but we hope to provide it in the future.
Do you have plans for secondary provision?
We hope to be able to provide both primary and secondary education in the future.
