Yes. The Fountain’s uniform is an expression of our unity and of the dignity of the calling of a pupil to grow in wisdom and virtue.

Yes. We offer a catered lunch (at additional cost to school fees). Our caterers cook to individual allergy requirements. Pupils and staff eat lunch together daily, family-style, at the table.

Packed lunches are welcome, if you would prefer. We are a nut-free school.

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.

You are very welcome to apply.

We do not require pupils or their parents to share our Christian faith in order to be admitted. What we do ask is that parents fully support the school's Christian ethos and will not undermine it at home.

In practice, at The Fountain, your child will pray, sing and hear the Bible throughout the school day, worship at the school’s daily Chapel service, and will be taught Scripture as a subject. All members of staff are committed Christians.

The Fountain Christian School is going through the Department for Education's registration process for new independent schools. Our pre-registration inspection has taken place. We will publish the outcome, and our report, as soon as we are able to.

The best way to find out more: come to our next Information and Vision Evening!

Over the next academic year, we will be holding Information and Vision Evenings for prospective parents, where you can meet the team, find more out about what makes The Fountain unique, and ask questions.

Details for this will be on our website in due course.

In the mean time, you can also contact us here.
