We work with parents as the
‘first-educators’ to challenge
your children to integrate
their faith with their learning,
and to take their faith, as
ambassadors, out into the
wider world.
At Middleton Grange School
we want to develop godly
character in your child, to help
them aspire to excellence,
and to serve others in the
community. As a Christian
school we do this for the
glory of God and for the
benefit of society.
God calls each one of us to
do whatever we are doing
excellently as though we are
doing it for Him and not for
ourselves. “My utmost for
His highest” is a universal
expectation at Middleton
Grange School.
May I warmly encourage you
to seek further information
about our school as you
discover that this is a
wonderful choice of school for
your son or daughter. I look
forward to welcoming your
family to Middleton Grange
School.
God bless

scripture and prayer.

contemporary society. We work with
parents to encourage pupils in their
gifts and abilities to serve God
and others.
