Christ the King College Web. www.christthekingcollege.co.uk Tel. 01983 537070 2 3 I sincerely hope that the information and photographs in our prospectus will give you a very clear idea of the type of education that Christ the King College offers. I recognise that deciding on the choice of school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent, and it is for that reason that Christ the King College is very clear about the distinctive nature of its ethos, the excellent standards we achieve and the outstanding levels of care we provide. It is my experience that, in addition to looking for a school that ensures the best possible academic opportunities for their child, parents seek a happy and safe environment, where the ethos and values reflect the faith traditions, values and expectations of the home. Indeed, it is my firm belief that all children have a right to an education that will enable them to achieve their ambitions and realizes their potential; it is this belief that inspires the staff and governors of Christ the King College to provide a place of learning where young people know they can achieve the very highest standards. At Christ the King College, we believe that successful education combines high standards of academic achievement with strong moral and spiritual guidance within a happy and safe environment. Education should provide opportunities for every individual child to succeed in a variety of ways, preparing our young people for a future in which they can thrive in their chosen career paths in addition to becoming responsible, caring citizens. Furthermore, learning should be fun, satisfying and motivating; students should be able to celebrate their success and those of others with pride; and the education of students should be enriched by an extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities accessible to all. c o n t e n t s 2.
