Friends of CFET

Welcome to the website and thank you for your support

2010-10-06T16:10:00.000+01:00

Dear Friends and Partners of CFET,

First of all a very big thank you to you, for all your support.

We are now into our sixth year at Beauchamp House and still enjoying the many blessings of our site - being out in the countryside, extensive grounds, space to develop and a hall that is able to be used very flexibly.

Thank you for the part you played in helping us to get here and for your continuing support.

One purpose of this website is to help us to communicate with you, our friends. We hope you find the format interesting. Senior students in the school are managing the site as part of their ICT(computer) education and so the site can get regularly updated. We also send out a paper newsletter but the "Friends of CFET" site is the best place to get information.

Please keep an eye on the events section. We hope that you will be able to visit us in the near future. You will be very welcome.

My thanks again for your support,

Nigel Steele
(Head Teacher, The School of the Lion)

Our testimony is..."God will make a way where there seems to be no way!"
