Our Aims and Purpose

​

We look to the Bible to discover what the school should be trying to achieve.

 

We see our children as God’s gift to our families (Ps 127:3), wonderfully made (Ps 139:14), but in need of redemption (Rom 3:23). We recognise our duty to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Eph 6:4) and that knowledge, wisdom and understanding are especially valued by God (Prov 1-5).

 

We want to see each child thoroughly equipped for good works which will commend Christ in this world (2 Tim 3:15-17) and prepared in heart, soul, mind and strength for life in the world to come (Deut 6:5; Matt 22:37).

 

Thus our aims and purpose in education are to complement the role of the family and the church and reflect what we believe are God’s priorities for our children:

 

• To provide each child with a biblical understanding to equip the child for practical living in this world and encourage the child’s awareness of spiritual and eternal realities.

• To help children develop an understanding which is relevant to all their roles in adult life.

• To develop in children an understanding of society in both place and time.

• To develop an understanding and appreciation of humankind’s cultural activities.

• To develop an understanding of scientific and technological activities, both in the past and in the present.

• To develop an understanding of and respect towards the natural world.

• To develop in children an understanding of man’s unique role in creation and their opportunities and limitations.

• To help children develop those fundamental skills which are necessary in order to achieve all other aims.
