We are very proud that Hope Hamilton Church of England Primary School was successful in applying to become a Growing Faith Learning Hub in 2025.

Growing Faith is the movement that exists to put children, young people and families instinctively at the heart of all the mission and ministry of the Church by changing the culture of the Church of England. It comes from the vision set by the House of Bishops and endorsed by General Synod in 2019. It involves churches, schools, and households working together to help children, young people, and families have life in all its fullness.

The Growing Faith Foundation seeks to benefit children and young people, helping them create the world they want to live in, specifically through the lens of the Christian faith. Every Diocese supports this work through their Partners in Growing Faith, who meet together with the national team once a term. The Foundation is developing work in five main areas: Chaplaincy, Learning Hubs, Networks, Programmes, and Research. It also works closely alongside the Growing Faith Younger Leaders’ team within the National Society for Education.

The Growing Faith Foundation is resourcing Learning Hubs across the country to act as strong developmental communities of practice from which other school and church leaders (both regionally and nationally) can learn.
