In this podcast, Hin-Tai discusses what makes The Fountain and classical Christian education so distinctive and unique, compared to what most schools in the UK are currently doing.

 FAQs

  • In September 2026, our Founding Cohort will be open to Reception and Year 1 aged children, with the potential of Year 2 if there is sufficient demand.

    As the school grows, we will grow with our Founding Cohort. our long term ambition is to create an all-through school, taking children from Reception age all the way through to the age of 18.

  • The National Curriculum is full of great knowledge and skills that are necessary for healthy child development, including social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development. The compulsory subjects of English, mathematics, science, history, geography, art, music, physical education and ancient and modern foreign languages will all be taught at The Fountain.

    However, in many cases we wish to exceed the standards and content of the National Curriculum. As an example, we will give our pupils a thorough grounding not merely in British and world history, but also the history of the church. We will give our pupils not only a good understanding of the key tenets of Christianity and other religions, but also a thorough immersion in Scripture.

    What makes The Fountain unique is the purpose behind why we teach our curriculum. We teach knowledge and skills not so our pupils can tick a box or pass a test; we will always teach knowledge and skills that will help our pupils become wise. At every stage we will emphasise how they can use what they learn to grow in their love for one another, their love for creation, and their love for their Creator.

  • As an ecumenical classical Christian school, we warmly welcome all Christians who are aligned with our five key values and our doctrinal statement (see below), as well as families who are supportive of our teaching and promotion of our five key values and doctrinal statement.

    Since The Fountain is a school and not a church, we believe that important beliefs where Christians might differ are best taught in homes and churches, instead of at school. 

    The liturgical and devotional aspects of school life, including the forms of prayer, songs, and Bible translations that we use, will reflect beliefs common to our shared inheritance. 

    When diverging Christian beliefs and practices are discussed during usual academic study, for example in history or theology or Bible lessons, our teachers will lead the discussion from a historical viewpoint. Our staff will not teach their personal convictions on areas which are doctrinally disputed. They will instead aim to cultivate among our students an understanding and appreciation of both the variations within and the fundamental unity of the Christian faith.

  • As an intentionally ecumenical community, The Fountain Christian School finds its unity in the beliefs articulated in the Apostles’ Creed. This rule of faith is a confession common to all Christian denominations and traditions alike.

    I believe in God the Father Almighty,
    Maker of heaven and earth.
    And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
    Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

    born of the Virgin Mary,
    suffered under Pontius Pilate,
    was crucified, died and was buried.
    He descended into hell.
    The third day He rose again from the dead.
    He ascended into heaven
    and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
    From thence He will come

    to judge the living and the dead.
    I believe in the Holy Spirit,
    the holy catholic Church,
    the communion of saints,
    the forgiveness of sins,
    the resurrection of the body,
    and the life everlasting.

    In addition to the teachings concerning the Holy Trinity, creation, the incarnation and virgin birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and bodily resurrection confessed in the above creed, we also hold those truths believed by Christians of every time and place which are most closely aligned with the mission of the school. Among these, we mention specifically the following:

    There is no salvation apart from Christ Jesus who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)

    The Holy Scriptures are “given by inspiration of God, and [are] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

    We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life (Psalm 139).

    This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Christian scriptures, as the inspired word of God, serve as the supreme source of truth and morality and are the standard of our teaching and code of conduct.

    For purposes of the school’s doctrine, practice, and discipline, our board of trustees is responsible for determining and developing the school’s policies and evaluating their implementation.
