Christian Schools Trust
The Christian Schools Trust is an agency for cooperation and mutual support, which links together around 40 independent Evangelical Christian schools, but within which each school retains its independence. It has developed an advisory programme, organises regional and national courses and conferences, and has produced a range of curriculum materials and discussion papers.
Broadly speaking, these schools have been established by independent evangelical churches, or groups of churches, many of which are charismatic in origin, in order to provide an avowedly Christian education. Although the majority of children in these schools come from church families, most of the schools have open entrance policies, conditional only on parents or guardians subscribing to their distinctive aims and ethos. Some children may have special educational needs.
The schools usually make reference to the National Curriculum and make use of GCSE and other recognised examinations. Some of the schools represent a fundamentalist understanding of Christianity, which means that they reject some understandings of science, such as those which promote an evolutionary understanding of the world rather than a creationist one.
Some of these schools may not charge fees and are under-funded, so the staff are often volunteers who are only paid a nominal salary. This lack of resources may constrain their capacity to give adequate curricular coverage across all subjects, or throughout the wide age range that is often present, and it may also mean that the accommodation is inadequate.
