The school aims to ‘encourage the highest standards in academic and extra-curricular pursuits within a friendly and supportive community’. The central aim is to ‘nurture children in the way of God’. The joint proprietors are husband and wife. They started Springfield Christian School in 1999. One proprietor worked full time in the school, where she was known as ‘matron’. She had responsibility for the curriculum, teaching and learning and children’s welfare. In September 2015, an internally promoted leader was appointed as headteacher to undertake these responsibilities. Since September 2015, the school has ceased to provide education for key stage 2 pupils, due to the constraints of the school premises. There are 48 children on roll. There is new provision for five babies which falls outside the remit of this inspection. There are 35 children aged between two and five in the early years, 16 of whom attend part time. Eight key stage 1 pupils are taught in a combined Year 1 and Year 2 class. Leaders are currently recruiting additional governors to join the governing body. The school provides before- and after-school day care for children from 8am to 6pm. The school was last inspected in October 2015.
