Welcome!

Welcome to the Gateway Christian School. We are a small school set in the idyllic surroundings of Dale Abbey. The school was founded in 1989 by the Parochial Church Council of Stanton-by-Dale with Dale Abbey. The school is closely linked to the church. There is a strong and overt Christian ethos but all are welcome. The school is funded by payments from parents according to their ability to pay. As the school has small classes, we aim at a maximum class size of 15, then much individual attention can be given and children are encouraged to develop their full potential and grow into the people God intended them to be.

As well as occupying the original school building in Dale Abbey, the school has a playing field a few yards down the road, the use of the Gateway Christian Centre, where lunch is enjoyed and free access to the Church’s own 5 acre wood, which is a wonderful place for nature study etc.

We also have a Nursery School for 3 to 5 year olds. Children here receive State funding. The Nursery is housed in what would seem to be purpose built premises but which are actually the previous offices of Stanton Ironworks in Stanton-by-Dale. The same care and Christian ethos applies as much in the Nursery as in the Primary Department. If you have children of Nursery or Primary age we would love to see you.

Canon Ian Gooding, Chair of Governors is; Rector of the Parishes of Stanton-by-Dale with Dale Abbey and Risley; Rural Dean of Erewash; A Honourary Canon of Derby Cathedral and A Proctor in Convocation (Clerical member of the General Synod of the Church of England)
