History

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]

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.
