CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP SCHOOL TRUST

Registered charity 1079325 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register

The objects of the School/Trust are to promote education based on Christian principles for children aged 4-16. Our aim is to support Christian families in the upbringing of their children. We purposely keep our fees low so that there is no sense of being elitist and by so doing we seek to serve ordinary folk as opposed to the rich and famous.
