Friends

We have set up ‘Friends of Bethany School’.

This gives us an opportunity to share with our Friends more regular and detailed information about the school. Also, it will help to provide on-going support for the school.

We would like to tell you about our curriculum, give testimonies from the children and staff, send you examples of children’s work and invite you to special events in addition to our usual Open Mornings.

You can become a Friend for less than the price of your daily newspaper (or chocolate bar). 100 new Friends of Bethany School would be an enormous help towards the running costs of the school.

Please contact us to become a Friend.

friend /frend/ n. person with whom one enjoys mutual affection and regard, sympathizer, helper, helpful thing or quality, one who is not an enemy, regular contributor of money or other assistance to an institution.
The Pocket Oxford Dictionary

By being a Friend of Bethany School you are helping us to provide the children with a really good education which is thoroughly biblical.

You are showing children that Christians see the world as God’s world and that you appreciate the importance of teaching this to the next generation.

You are helping the children to learn about generosity, giving sacrificially, receiving joyfully and being good stewards of the things that they have.
