Our Christian Vision
Rooted in Folkestone’s vibrant seaside community, we at St Eanswythe’s radiate God’s unconditional love by being inclusive, accepting, and supportive.
Inspired by Jesus’ commandment,
"Love one another as I have loved you,"
everyone is nurtured, enabling them to reach their full potential as caring, confident members of both our school family and global community.
We provide a rich, holistic education through a range of academic, physical, creative, and spiritual experiences. Our shared aim is for every child to approach their future life with awe, wonder, and enthusiasm; flourishing as the individuals that God intends them to be.
Our School Bible Story
Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)
Our foundational Bible story is that of Zacchaeus the tax collector. Despite his mistakes and being treated as an outsider by society, Jesus showed him unconditional love, acceptance, and forgiveness. Jesus looked up into the sycamore tree and called Zacchaeus by name, inviting himself into his home.
This transformative encounter reflects our school’s deep commitment to inclusivity. Just as Zacchaeus was nurtured and inspired to change his ways to give generously back to the community, we strive to accept and support every child exactly as they are, helping them to flourish into caring, confident individuals.
