Seven children from two Christian families, two Christian teachers and a chapel schoolroom were the foundation of Wyclif Independent Christian School in 1982.
The parents were convinced that the Lord was leading them to provide an education for their children which was God-centred, Bible-based and free of the secular humanism that was beginning to pervade the state education system.
The Lord honoured their decision. Now, in 2006, more than 60 pupils are registered, and able Christian teachers have joined the staff, who are willing to serve the Lord in the school for significantly lower pay than they would otherwise receive. One of the original teachers has remained, and his sacrificial commitment and contribution to the school has been a reason for great thankfulness to God. The main school continues to occupy the chapel, but, due to the increase in numbers, the younger pupils are now taught in a second chapel in the village.
