Christian Distinctiveness
At Christ Church Academy we believe that our identity as a Christian community gives us something a bit special...
We root all that we do in the values shown to us by Jesus. Throughout the school, we begin each day with a simple act of prayer. As we study and play together, we try to remember the values we share. During daily Base Time sessions, pupils lead reflections and activities designed to explore our values. Pupils also take responsibility for the prayer areas found in each form room.
At Christ Church we feel that it is no good to simply talk about the things that make us distinctive as a Christian school; we also must act. That is why we aim to serve others through initiatives such as Operation Christmas Child and Douggie Mac. It is also the reason why we make sure that we ‘live out’ the values that we study as advocates, so that we can see the fruits of our work around us in school and in our wider community.
Learning about our faith does not stop when we leave the school grounds. We enjoy trips to places such as Lichfield Cathedral and also love to welcome visitors to speak to us.
Christ Church Academy regularly worship as a whole school at our local church, Christ Church, Stone. Reverend Kingman plays a vital role in our school, making sure that we have weekly opportunities to come together to worship as Key Stages. Reverend Kingman also supports our Pursuit Club each week, where students have the chance to explore their faith more deeply.
As a Christian school we believe that we offer much more than an academic education; we seek to develop the whole person, offering spiritual, moral, social and cultural development as well as the development of character and identity, allowing our children to become the best versions of themselves, with Christ at the centre of all we do. Our vision is:
To be a learning community that provides excellence in education for the whole person – a place where all can flourish. We believe that: “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
Worship Leader Training for Advent
Our Worship Leaders have attended some special training prior to the start of Advent. They took part in a special reflection and had the opportunity to explore a range of different activties that they will be able to lead with their own forms. We are delighted with how brilliantly our Worship Leaders are conducting themselves in this important role.
