“Making a difference for all by inspiring a love of learning; we build strong foundations within God’s loving hands.” Mission Statement

Every child in our Christ the King school family is equally valued and nurtured. We work hard to ensure each pupil reaches his or her full potential. We believe that our school environment is an inspiring and great place to be: a place where there are many opportunities to learn.

We hope that this prospectus captures a flavour of our school. However, we welcome and encourage you to visit us in order to fully appreciate what we have to offer.

“It is a happy and exceptionally caring school and pupils feel safe and very well supported because of the high quality of

personal care provided.”

“Every parent wants their child to be as happy at school as they are at home.

We want that too. We are small enough to make each child an individual in

a caring family.”

A warm welcome to a special school

The individuality of each child is very important to us and inclusion is deeply embedded in the heart of our school. We strive to instil our pupils with the qualities of caring, tolerance and co-operation.

We work hard to involve parents & carers in all areas of school life and to develop firm links between home and school.

Inspiring a love of life & learning . . .

Our vision is for all of our children to become independent learners within a Christ-centred environment and to be confident and enthusiastic young people living God’s gift of life to the full.

Being part of the local community is very important to the school and we aim to help the children understand the diverse community in which they live both locally and in the wider world. The Christian ethos of caring for each other and the world around us is promoted and celebrated throughout the school at all times.

“This is a wonderful school, where everyone is made to feel welcome. Children of all years play together and there is such a

happy atmosphere.“ Parent

We build strong foundations within God’s loving hands

We have buddies for our Reception children, an enthusiastic gardening club and an active school council which is made up of children from all year groups.

“It’s nice to have a buddy because they help you out.” Pupil

“The pupils’ knowledge of how to stay safe is reflected in their good behaviour

in lessons and at break times.” Ofsted Report

During their journey at Christ the Kingeach child will take on new challenges and develop into a caring and confident young person who enjoys learning, knows how to help others and how to stay healthy and safe.

We have effective partnerships with our local secondary school - The Castle School - and strive to ensure that children leave us well-equipped and able to use their life-skills to meet the challenges of an ever changing & technological world.

“Our two eldest children moved to Castle School having achieved very highly at

Christ the King: Castle School teachers have told us you can always recognise

a CTK pupil because they are confident and extremely well-mannered.”

Parent

Children leave as confident, independent Young People

We believe that our pupils are the best! Our staff, pupils and parents enjoy being part of our Christ the King family. We hope you will want to be part of it too.
