Christ Church School in detail

Christ Church School in its own words

In its own words: "Christ Church is a highly inclusive, successful and thriving primary school. Our last Ofsted inspection (section 8), in March 2022, confirmed that we were still a ' good ' school, with many elements of 'outstanding' practice. We are particularly proud of our children's behaviour and attitudes which were recognised as outstanding."

From the headteacher's welcome: "The Christian faith is at the heart of our school community. At Christ Church we all care, learn and work together for God and others. ' For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do'."
