Our school's mission is to "prepare our kids for life's difficulties in a joyful, healthy, and loving Christian atmosphere where every child matters." About Us > Our School Bow The Diocesan Board of Education for Oxford oversees Brickhill Church of England V.A. Primary School, which collaborates with Milton Keynes Local Authority. Recognizing its historical roots, the school will maintain and grow its distinctiveness in conformity with Church of England beliefs and in collaboration with the Church at the parish and diocesan levels. The school's mission is to serve the community by offering the best education possible within the framework of Christian doctrine and practise. Through the experience provided to all students, it promotes Christian values and fosters a knowledge of the relevance and meaning of faith. We presently accept children at the age of four and older until they become 11, which is Year R Year 6. Our premises offer a mixture of old and new - the original school is over 130 years old and includes The Schoolhouse (which includes 2 group rooms and a resource area) and two classrooms, opened in 2007 to provide a Year 1/2 class and a Reception class with enclosed outdoor play area. Along with a sizable playground and playing field, the outdoor area offers an all-weather play area and "trim path." The school has gained popularity among parents who want to begin their children's education in the cosy, nurturing setting that a village school can offer.
