Special Character Voluntary Donation (SCD) – Middleton Grange School
- Special Character Provision
One reason we are able to offer quality education is because of parental support through prayer and payment of the SCD. A key reason for choosing a Christian school is because biblical principles, taught by Christian teachers, underpin all curriculum subjects – the SCD ensures we can do this. Whilst Government financial support provides (insufficient) funding for teaching general curriculum subjects, we desire to additionally ensure students are taught biblical knowledge and can understands and engage with social issues from a Christian perspective. - Achievement Initiatives & General Resourcing.
The SCD also supports staff who receive specific professional development to raise achievement for all students including eg remedial learners gifted learners, and we provide additional funding for eg libraries, ICT etc. - Tax Deductible
