CFS is celebrating its 40th birthday year!

In that time... 1280 inspiring pupils, 40 years of teaching, 3 different buildings, 1 faithful God - we have so much to be thankful for.

What God started in the heart of one man has become an intergenerational community of parents, friends, teachers, volunteers and alumni committed to discipling children and equipping them to serve God throughout their school years and beyond. Looking back, perhaps the development of strong and secure identity and calling in our young people has never been more important than now.

As we celebrate, we are reaching out to the wider network of past pupils, staff, families and supporters to join with us in thankfulness to God for the work he started and has sustained and to ask you to partner with us financially for the next phase in the adventure.

Whatever you are able to give, we are able to use!

As well as supporting the growth of Christian education for this generation, gifts we receive will help us ensure the current building is fit for future generations of pupils benefitting from being part of CFS, including essential electrical upgrades and refurbishments to our classrooms.

As an indication of planned developments:

- Average lighting upgrade costs £400 and ceiling refurbishment is £1100 per classroom

- We need nine new electrical distribution boards (£1500 each)

- We are also saving up for a new switchboard and a new hot water system.

In addition to supporting us financially, we would so welcome you partnering with us in prayer. Prayer requests and items for thanksgiving are shared on the 'Prayer and Thanksgiving' page on the school website: www.cfschool.org.uk/prayer-thanksgiving/

Finally, to mark our 40th birthday celebration, we would love to collect together stories, memories, reflections and updates from those who have been part of the journey and invite any contributions to be sent to 40years@cfschool.org.uk

Thank you for partnering with us on this journey. We are looking forward with joy to what the next 40 years hold for CFS!
