We support schools and academies
About Methodist Schools
The Methodist Church is engaged in education as part of its Christian mission in the world. Its schools reflect the Methodist ethos and contribute to diversity in education.
What are the schools like?
Methodist Schools are inclusive and welcoming communities where individuals are valued, good order is respected, relationships cherished, and where excellence in its widest sense (academic, extra-curricular, lifestyle) is pursued.
We aim to maintain high educational standards in all academic, cultural and sporting activities, stimulating excitement in learning and requiring discipline in study, whatever the child’s ability.
