We began in 1981 on a small scale, prompted simply by the urgency to give an option to parents who wanted a non-denominational school to support a Christian upbringing for children, reflecting the ethos of a family who honour Christ.
Most parents want to pass on their values to their children. Teachers who had an active faith in Christ were essential. Local churches working together were the obvious community context for such a venture. What a difference even these things have already made! However, we increasingly realise how much more there is to learn. Applying our faith to education and the workplace is ongoing. As a school community, we continue to learn together. More history...
All schools impart some kind of assumptions and interpretation of life. At Christian Fellowship School you will find us refreshingly open about the faith basis from which we work. We represent a healthy mix of churches but all identify closely with the Evangelical Alliance statement of faith. We are a close knit team within a wider church community.
Our name summarises some essential foundation stones for us.
- Christian: Christ centred
- Fellowship: Building community
- School: Restoring education to parents
Our mission arises from such values and our vision focuses on the rounded development of the many unique young people we are privileged to work with.
