The Christian School, Takeley
A Community of Love, Hope and Faith in Action
The Christian School (Takeley) offered an education where everyone was valued and able to learn and grow in the love of Christ, becoming confident, creative, caring and responsible members of their communities.
We were a small independent school in Essex founded by a group of parents and friends in 1989 to provide a Christian education, fostering Christian faith and values. The school included families from a wide geographical area, who belonged to a number of different churches or none.
Our ethos encouraged a real sense of community and family,
Formed from a community, our school was started by a group of parents and some of their friends who wanted to take responsibility for educating their children. Even the fabric of the buildings bears witness to the commitment of this initial group of people who renovated the buildings on the site.
A sense of community was a key feature of the school.
The aim of the school was summarised as, to have at the heart of the school, the love of God and His grace; and to let this inform all that was done.
