About our school

Independent Sector, 170 to 200 pupils from 4 to 16.

CFS is a faith venture within a parent collaborative setting, where young people learn to consider the world and themselves in a Christ-centred way, and the next generation are actively discipled to equip them to serve society creatively and courageously. School families come from diverse ethnic and church backgrounds across the wider Merseyside region.

We see working at CFS as part of our Christian calling to serve the church through education. The salary structure is consequently reflected in this vision.
