Christ Church, uniquely in the area, has separate Infant and Junior sites that allow for smaller pupil numbers on each site. This creates a supportive and nurturing atmosphere in which every child is known, contributing to the children's well-being. Christ Church feels like a small village school but benefitting from the resources and leadership of a larger institution.
Christian Ethos: The school has a strong Christian ethos and emphasises the importance of each child achieving their potential and becoming the person God made them to be. Additionally, it highlights the values of compassion, empathy, and community. The school's Christian foundation contributes to its pupils' moral and ethical development.
Inclusive and Diverse: Christ Church is open to all and believes that the values it promotes are universal. Although it is a church school, less than 10% of Reception places are typically awarded based on church attendance. Everyone feels welcome, and the school has a diverse student body with families of many different cultures, languages, religions, and backgrounds. This multicultural environment encourages understanding, tolerance, and respect. Exposure to different perspectives fosters adaptability and open-mindedness.
Specialised Teaching in Music and Sports: Christ Church has a long tradition of participation in music and sports, with children taught and encouraged by specialist teachers. Most pupils participate in one of the school's choirs, recorder groups, orchestra, or sports teams. The school is committed to ensuring each child has access to a well-rounded education, not just academic success. Participation in extracurricular activities enhances confidence, teamwork, and physical fitness.
Community Engagement: Parents are actively involved in their child's education and school life. Christ Church is supported by its governors and local church, contributing to the school's strong sense of community.
