The Christian School (Takeley) [1] is an independent Christian school located in Takeley, Bishop's Stortford, Essex.
The school caters for children of 7 through to 16 years of age. The school runs a curriculum that is designed to meet the requirements of the English National Curriculum and the school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).[2]
The Christian School (Takeley) was founded by a group of parents and friends in 1989 to provide a Christian education, fostering Christian faith and values. Today the school includes families from a wide geographical area, who belong to a number of different churches or none. In 2017 the school became a member of the Independent School Association[3] and the Independent Schools Council.[4]
The school operates from the site of Takeley Chapel, which is home to Takeley Congregational Church which itself is an independent church. The site consists of the Edwardian chapel building, recreation hall and a converted stable block which is now a workshop and laboratory.
There are nine dedicated teaching rooms at the site, with other facilities including a library and kitchen. The school also has a playground, gazebo and allotments to the front.
The school has achieved the bronze, silver and gold Woodland Trust awards.[5]
