Ob'eetive and Activities
The object of the Company is to promote an education based on Christian principles for children aged
four to sixteen. The Company aims to support Christian families in the nurturing of their children and
their forn]al education. We consciously keep our school fees as low as possible by means of a bursary
scheme based on affordability so that the school is accessible to everyone.
The school aims to promote a vision and understanding of Christian Education both in the UK and
elsewhere so that as pupils move on to further education and adult life, they will have an appreciation of
how to apply their faith, being equipped to serve as global citizens. This requires the development and
provision of a comprehensive approach to teaching that combines a clear and distinctive Christian
world-view with a Christ-centred curriculum.
Some of the policies the school implements to achieve its aims
include:
Promotion of the values of a Christian home.
Promotion of a proactive culture of partnership and mutual respect, with support and collaboration
between staff, parents and children for the benefit and success of pupils and the whole
community. this is reflected in the Parent and Educational Team Agreement, which is actively
communicated during the admissions process.
The application of the principles of Christian values throughout the teaching and leaming
process.
A system of nurture and direction of the children that includes Christian love and discipline.
Training of staff and supporting school famil ies to engage with pupils in the outworking of a
Christian world-view within a contemporary society and culture.
Setting up financial structures that will enable the school to achieve its goals with the resources
available.
Communication of the aims and purposes of the school amongst the wider community.
Achievements and Performance durin
Leadership
The board of directors of Christian Fellowship School (CFS) Trust is an agile team of tluee, who
additionally serve as members of the board of governors - this integrated and flexible leadership team
works directly with the head teacher and principal, to lead in specific roles of: finance, infrastructure,
education, curriculum, parent collaboration, safeguarding, and staff welfare. The head teacher is
supported by a principal who was appointed in 2020 on an interim basis to support the operational
activities of the school.

Inspection
Our last full inspection was by Ofsted in May 2019, at which time the school's overall effectiveness was
Ih
judged to be good, and personal development, behaviour and welfare was judged outstanding. On 8 June
2019 the school joined the Independent Schools Association (ISA), and future inspections are being
conducted by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). ISI conducted a Regulatory Compliance
Inspection (RCI) in June 2023 and the school was judged to meet the standards in the Schedule to the
Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, and relevant requirements of the statutory
framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, and associated requirements. The next Routine
Inspection will be our first under the new ISI inspection framework. It will evaluate how well the school

meets the statutory requirement to actively promote the wellbeing of pupils, as well as assess our
compliance with the Independent Schools Standards regulation. We expect this inspection to take place
during the 2025-26 academic year.
Infrastructure
The directors began to consider the long-terni maintenance challenges of the school buildings in 2011.
Following a full assessment of options (including a full rebuild), a plan to refurbish existing buildings
was initiated in 2016. This was amended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to emerging priorities
and to opportunities to upgrade the environmental credentials of the site. To date (including 2023-24
works) the refurbishment includes.
replacement of the front elevation windows and facade. with repairs to others as necessary,
refi￿bishrnent and insulation of the roof, including installation of solar panels
significant upgrading of the electrical circuits to prepaie for future updates to heating and lighting
installation of an outdoor trim trail, an area resurfaced for games use and an outdoor classroom
complete refurbishment of Reception and Year l areas, including structural repairs to concrete
beams.
As part of the school's energy efficiency strategy, we installed 33kWp of solar panels on the tower roof in
February 2023. This has reduced the electricity load supplied from the utility network and hence the
schools electrical running costs.
Continuous Professional Development {CPD)
Members of staff are supported in their continuous professional development by means of a performance
management system. The governors review the perforn]ance and development of the head teacher and
principal annually, measured against agreed objectives, which reflect the whole school development plan.
The head teacher and principal ensure that their objectiv¢s (together with individual personal objectives)
are cascaded to the senior leadership team, who furtlier take responsibility for the perfomiance
management of the wider staff body, curriculum development and pupil progress.

2024 GCSE Results
Attainment 8
Our Attainment 8 score (based on the best eight GCSE grades) has improved to 69.6 from 62.9 last year.
By way of comparison, DfE published data shows CFS had the highest Attainment 8 score of all non-
selective Liverpool schools, scoring 12.5 points above the next highest-ranking school. 890/0 of our
students achieved strong passes (5 or above) in English and Maths compared with 870/0 in 2023. 70 % in
2022, 770/0 in 2021, 82 % in 2020, 100% in 2019 and 83% in 2018.
EBacc
This year 89 % of students were entered for the EBacc suite of subjects (two sciences, a modern foreign
language and a humanities subject, in addition to English and Maths) - compared with 570/0 in 2023, 77 %
in 2022, 620/0 in 2021, 76 % in 2020, 880/0 in 2019 and 830/0 in 2018.
Our anticipated average EBacc point score (including all pupils in the cohort) is 6.6, compared with 6.8 in
2023, 6.1 in 2022, 6.7 in 2021, 7.1 in 2020, 6.8 in 2019 and 5.9 In 2018. For comparative purposes, our
average point score of 6.65 was the highest average point swre in non-selective schools in Liverpool,
1.44 points above the next ranking school.
At CFS, our priorities are spiritual and character fonnation. However, we continue to be thankful that in
seeking first God's kingdom, our pupils also make good educational progress and attain at a high level
academically.
All Core Subjects (0/0 Wlth Passes at Grade 4 or 5)
In analysing our perforniance in the core subjects, we note that each year's cohort is numerically small
compared to most other schools, meaning that one pupil can make a significant difference (this year, up to
I I percentage points). Also, cohorts can change significantly from year to year in terms of whether they
are biased towards academic subjects or towards creative and practical subjects. This makes year-on-year
comparisons less valid than in schools where student numbers are greater and the cohort profiles less
variable.

Christian Fellowshi
School Trust

For the

ust 2024
In 2024 achievement in core subject GCSES was slightly higher than previous years. All students
achieved at or above their target grades and the majority have scored on average more than one GCSE
grade above their target. Our detailed analyses indicate that both academically able pupils and those
whose bias is towards more vocational areas are achieving well.

Flexi-ed Subjects
This cohort contained some particularly able students who challenged themselves by taking on extra
subjects. The Level 2 C¢rtificate in Further Maths was attempted by three pupils (average score 7.3) and
pupils with a first language other than English were offered the opportunity to take a GCSE in their first
language (average score 9).
Parents and Friends Collaborative (PFC)
During the academic year, Governors continued to develop a sense of community and developed school
initiatives. Two in-person PFC meetings were held, providing an opportunity to engage with a wider
school community and communicate key development and planning activities. These included subjects
such as refurbishment of the buildings, safeguarding, online safety, fundraising, volunteering, community
engagement and curriculum development.
Pre-school, Parents in Partnership Trvith School (PIPS)
PIPS continues to be one of the key vehicles for new families to join our school community and move on
into full-time education in Reception. The group norn]ally meets twice a week. PIPS aims to:
Offer parents and their pre-school children regular opportunities to play, fellowship, explore
aspects of Christian parenting, supporting each other, and having age appropriate slots for
teaching bible stories, singing and praying with their children.
Introduce families to the distinctive vision of school. 80 % of PIPS children join the school as
pupils in Reception.

Gifts and Donations Received
A large number of sundry gifts and donations were received by the school during the financial year,
totalling £90,631. This provided an opportunity to invest in building repairs, fixtures and fittings, and
ongoing investment in technology to support digital learning.
Loans
In support of the renovations of the school buildings, there are a number of families and businesses
associated with the school that have made loans to the school.
Public Benefit
The directors and govemors are continually considering the opportunity of making the school accessible
to many, and also that some of the school's focus and activities are of benefit to others outside the school
community.
The school building and faci lities are used by local communities for activities such a5.. Church
conferences and community sports clubs.
One local Church uses the school building for their Sunday services.
Regular clothing collections are made for Second Chance Charity Sliop and the work of Asylum
Link (ALM) and Bridge2 are supported through collections and a food sliop for Asylum seekers
each Deceinber.
The Equipped to Serve prograniine in Upper School is desigiied specifically to equip young
people to beconie active citizens who are growiiig in and displaying Christian values. Examples of
projects are:
Upper School classes are actively iiivolved in the Reverse Advent Calendar campaign,
supporting the Liverpool Micah Project Food Bank
We continued to re-establ ish tlie annual exchange prOgr￿￿rne with a school in the Netherlands
(also involving the sharing of teaching expertise and citizenship values between staff of both
schools).
Once again year l O pupils joined a residential field trip volunteei'ing at Foxearth Meadows, an
environmental resilience project li) Sutyolk. Pupils learnt coppiLiiig, liedge building and
environmeiital monitoring whilst also creating decorative signage for tlie site for the benefit of
visitors
Local enterprise visits enabled pupils to quiz business leaders aiid grow in their understandiiig of
the central role of SMES in the city's economy.
Financial Accessibility
Fees are as low as possible, to enable access to a wide range of families.
The staff in effect supplement the school's income by taking very low salaries. Some work
voluntarily or offer voluntary days.
An independent committee manages a hardship fund for families in financial crisis.
The school administers a sponsorship scheme to help with fees in specific cases such as asylum
seekers.
A range of bursaries of up to 750/0 are offered to families with low incomes.
The fee structure reflects reductions for siblings.

Financial Review
The results for the year are set out on pages 14 to 22.
Investment Powers and Policy
Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the
trustees deem appropriate. The directors have established a policy where surplus funds, which are not
required for the day to day running of the school. are invested in a deposit account with the company's
bankers.
Reserves Policy
The directors have established a reserves policy aiming to have free reserves to cover six months of
expenditure.
Grant Making Policy
The directors make grants to deserving causes in response to specific requests made to them.
Plans for Future Periods
The trustees are continuing to work with the governors and head teacher to establish the school to be
thriving and sustainable for the next 30 years and accessible to more families.
The school development plan was regularly reviewed during the 2023-24 academic year and specifically
updated with feedback from inspectors provided in June 2023. The primary objectives of the plan are to
grow the school to capacity, to develop the curriculum and continue to strengthen the quality of teaching
to ensure outcomes continue to improve, and to re￿rbISh the school buildings - improving their energy
efficiency and maintaining a safe and positive learning environment.
In July 2023 the school commenced a redevelopment of some of the lower school classrooms remodelling
these areas into purpose-built classrooms and support areas. This development further increased the
thern]al efficiency and energy perfonnance of the building which is moving the school towards the target
of reducing our overall energy costs.
There are further plans moving forward through 2024 to upgrade upper school classrooms, modernise the
building management controls and renew the rear of the tower block facade.
As we continue to welcome new families with English as a second language, many new to living in the
UK, we are equipping our staff and community with skills to relate cross-culturally and adapt our
educational approach as far as possible to integrate these families. Of particular note is progress in
broadening the scope of the curriculurn to embrace a greater cultural diversity of topics.
