From columnist Mike Yardley:

Our point of difference - We are a Christ-Centred, student oriented school. Our ‘Why’ is to offer families a holistic education for their children, focusing on Character, Excellence and Service – for the glory of God.

Middleton Grange School provides a first-rate general education with academic results of the highest quality, and we do this by providing an environment in which the Biblical truths of Jesus Christ are taught and lived.

We see learning as holistic; it aims to instruct the mind, shape the heart and prepare the hands for service.

We want our young people to critically engage in the rapidly changing society and culture that they live in, in order to be a positive influence and to point others to God by their example.
